Summary/Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease and primary open-angle glaucoma have common links of pathogenesis, so they may have the same trigger - an excessively narrowed pupil, manifested by activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. It is advisable to start the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease with medical or surgical dilation of the pupil. This approach can be useful in the treatment of migraine, epilepsy, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder and other diseases that begin with excessive activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.
