Filter by:Both Cosopt® and Xalatan® plus Timoptic® will significantly lower IOP, however only Cosopt® will demonstrate positive hemodynamic effects. The clinical significance of this will be investigated by examining the ophthalmic and short posterior ciliary arteries to determine the blood supply to the optic nerve head, the site of damage in glaucoma
Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) with 100 ms pulses is an effective therapy for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Similar reductions in IOP have been achieved using ns (SLT) and microsecond (MLT) pulses, which produce less thermal damage to trabecular meshwork (TM). Lack of clinically visible changes may make the accurate alignment of subsequent pulses difficult. We describe a novel technique - Patterned Laser Trabeculoplasty (PLT) using the PASCAL Photocoagulator system, and its preliminary evaluation in patients with open angle glaucoma.
The purpose of this investigation, in which pilocarpine was given in repeated doses, was to evaluate: Part I - the effects of different concentrations of pilocarpine hydrochloride on intraocular pressure. Part II -the effects on intraocular pressure of glaucomatous patients to pilocarpine 2% when given once, twice and four daily. In addition, we studied various attributes of the eye which may serve as indicators of responsiveness of individual patients to pilocarpine.
Although Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) has been used as a preservative for many years, many studies have demonstrated that prolonged use of topical ocular medications preserved with BAC may exacerbate sequelae associated with ocular surface disease. These effects could lead to the induction of subclinical inflammation,1 reduction of corneal epithelial barrier function, 2, 3 destabilization of the tear film, 4 cataract formation, 5 and an overall higher incidence of patient complaints of dryness and irritation. 4-6 This study will compare the efficacy of travoprost 0.004% without benzalkonium chloride (BAC) to that of the marketed formulation of latanoprost 0.005%with BAC in patients with dryness and irritation and open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. A double blind comparison will be used to assess whether those two different formulations will affect the tear breakup times, corneal staining, and baseline tear secretion tests in patients that are already taking latanoprost regularly with complaints of dryness and irritation. Patients included in the study will be given two bottles, one labeled for their right eye and the other for their left eye. Each pair of bottles will be identical in appearance and randomized with either latanoprost or travoprost and each pair will be assigned a number to aid in future analysis of the final results.
The purpose of this study is to compare two ophthalmic solutions in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of total volume and total dose on the safety and intraocular pressure-lowering efficacy of Anecortave Acetate Suspension (3 mg and 48 mg) in 0.5 mL and 0.8 mL volumes when administered by anterior juxtascleral depot (AJD) for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of AL-39256 in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The purpose of the study is to compare two ophthalmic solutions in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalent safety and IOP-lowering effectiveness of two Travoprost/Timolol combination products in patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This global study will be conducted in the US (C-07-64, NCT00672997) and Japan (C-08-08, NCT00760539).
The purpose of this study is to assess the IOP-lowering efficacy of a combination of Travoprost / Timolol maleate, dosed in the morning or in the evening, in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, who have an insufficiently controlled IOP (mmHg), and are using prostaglandin analogue monotherapy.
