Publication type: Clinical Trial

Lowering of the intraocular pressure--the main risk factor in glaucoma neuropathy--is the major goal in the treatment for primary open angle glaucoma. The goal of the study is to compare the results of topical administration of the next therapeutical agents: b-blockers, prostaglandin analogs, topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and selectives adrenergic a-2 agonists. The studied groups emphasize the efficiency of the first line monotherapy and of the combined therapy, maintaining the quality of life, preserving the visual function, the minimal side effects and the compliance of the patients.
