, (2008/06/13)
The invention relates to the use of a somatostatin receptor ligand of nonpeptide origin, e.g. of general formula (Ia) or (Ib) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which has high and/or selective affinity to the somatostatin receptor protein designated SSTR4, for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a disease associated with an adverse condition in the retina and/or iris-ciliary body of a mammal. Such conditions being high intraocular pressure (IOP) and/or deep ocular infections. The diseases which may be treated are e.g. glaucoma, stromal keratitis, iritis, retinitis, cataract and conjunctivitis.
