Comparison of Bimatoprost and Latanoprost in Patients With Chronic Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A Randomized Cross-Over Study

Summary

This is a randomized observer-masked cross-over study to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) reducing effect of latanoprost with bimatoprost in subjects with chronic angle closure glaucoma (CACG) with raised IOP. Study subjects will be randomized to receive either latanoprost once daily or bimatoprost once daily for 6 weeks, after which they will be crossed over to the other medication for another 6 weeks. The IOP-reducing effect of the medications will be assessed by the reduction in IOP after each medication compared to baseline. The study will be carried out in at least 2 Singapore hospitals.
