Preservative-free tafluprost in the treatment of naive patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension

Newly Diagnosed Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Randomized to 2 Trabecular Bypass Stents or Prostaglandin: Outcomes Through 36 Months

“…In this study, the IOP decrease in the travoprost group was greater than the 25–35% IOP reductions reported in prior work [33–35]. This may be due to medication-naïve eyes, high compliance due to study participation, and/or regression to the mean.…”

“…This may be due to medication-naïve eyes, high compliance due to study participation, and/or regression to the mean. The greater IOP reduction also may be attributed to the pre-treatment IOP level (i.e., greater IOP reduction with higher preoperative IOP), a phenomenon which has been reported previously in both treated and treatment-naïve glaucoma patients [35, 36]. …”

Comparison of Ocular Pulse Amplitude Lowering Effects of Preservative-Free Tafluprost and Preservative-Free Dorzolamide-Timolol Fixed Combination Eyedrops

“…Benzalkonium chloride (BAK), which is widely used in glaucoma preparations as a preservative, damages the tear film and has a negative impact on the number of conjunctival goblet cells. For this reason, over 50% of patients treated for glaucoma have concurrent ocular surface disorders [ 9 ].…”
