Patients equally happy with mono- and combination therapy
July 14th 2008Timolol, latanoprost, and the fixed combinations of latanoprost/timolol (Xalcom; Pfizer) and dorzolamide/timolol (Cosopt; Merck) have equal efficacy and tolerability as well as equal levels of patient satisfaction, according to a study published online, ahead of print, by Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology.
Allergan to cash in on eyelash stimulant effect of glaucoma drug
June 13th 2008Following positive clinical trial results, Allergan, the makers of bimatoprost, are submitting a new drug application (NDA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), seeking a new indication for the prostaglandin analogue as an eyelash growth stimulant.
Combination therapies go head to head
June 6th 2008Azarga (brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% eye drops suspension; Alcon) and Cosopt (dorzolamide 2%/timolol 0.5% eye drops solution; Merck) are equally efficacious in IOP-lowering capacity, however, Azarga offers greater ocular comfort, according to a study presented at this week?s European Glaucoma Society congress in Berlin, Germany.
Success at one year with miniature glaucoma shunt
June 2nd 2008A proprietary miniature glaucoma device (Ex-PRESS; Optonol Ltd.) implanted under a partial-thickness scleral flap achieves significant decreases in intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma, according to Peter A. Netland, MD, PhD, reporting at the 2007 meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
Measuring true IOP: factors that confuse GAT readings
June 2nd 2008The current gold standard for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), the Goldmann tonometer (GAT), has considerable flaws. Dr Goldmann designed his tonometer to provide accurate measurements in eyes with average corneas, but we now know that many corneas vary significantly from the "average".
Can a dosing aid affect patient compliance?
June 2nd 2008The medical treatment of glaucoma is limited by patient adherence to medications. By the end of a year, approximately half of patients are not refilling their medications as directed, and physicians are not able to tell those who are from those who are not.
360 degree trabeculectomy best way to treat congenital glaucoma
May 22nd 2008Using a microcatheter to perform 360° trabeculectomy is a safer and more consistent way to treat congenital glaucoma than traditional trabeculectomy, according to information presented at this year's meeting of the American Glaucoma Society (AGS).
Is cataract surgery the best way to lower IOP?
May 22nd 2008Extraction of cataracts lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) to normal levels in glaucoma patients, and may in fact be a better treatment option than combined surgery, according to a study presented at this year's meeting of the Italian Society of Ophthalmology.
Positive family history increases likelihood of visual field loss at presentation
May 16th 2008Patients with a positive family history of glaucoma are 10 times as likely to have visual field (VF) defects at the time of their diagnosis, according to a study published in the April issue of Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology, the official Journal of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists.
First preservative-free prostaglandin treatment approved
May 16th 2008Taflotan (tafluprost; Santen Oy), a benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-free prostaglandin analogue for the treatment of glaucoma, has received marketing authorization in Denmark and Germany, making it the first preservative-free prostaglandin eye drop to be approved.
