Comparison of the Effects of Bimatoprost and a Fixed Combination of Latanoprost and Timolol on 24-hour Blood and Ocular Perfusion Pressures

Summary

This is a data revision with a focus on 24 hour perfusion pressures of data from a previous randomized, double masked, multicenter clinical trial. The aim was to compare the effect of bimatoprost and the fixed combination of latanoprost and timolol (LTFC) on 24-hour mean intraocular pressure (IOP) after patients are switched from a nonfixed combination of latanoprost and timolol. The main findings of the original trial had been published on Ophthalmology \[2007;114: 2244-2251\].
