Article Synopsis
- A study compared the effectiveness and comfort of two eye drop combinations (BTFC and DTFC) for patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension who were already on prostaglandin analogues.
- The trial involved 110 participants who switched between the two treatments over a period of 16 weeks, measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, side effects, and patient preferences.
- Results showed that both treatments were similarly effective in lowering IOP, but patients reported less discomfort and preferred BTFC, suggesting it may be a better option for those sensitive to eye irritation.
Purpose: To evaluate the age-dependent morphologic alterations in the outer retina and choroid at the macula using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: Thirty eyes (30 normal subjects; average age, 49 years) were examined; five (age range, third-eighth decades of life) had refractive errors of ±2 diopters or less and no fundus abnormalities. An Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) map of the outer retinal and choroidal thickness was constructed using swept-source OCT.
