Effect of Latanoprost 0.005% and Brimonidine 0.2% on Intraocular Pressure After Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation Surgery

摘要

An ideal drug should provide prophylaxis against the postoperative spike in IOP with minimal ocular and systemic adverse effects, rapid onset of action for protection in the immediate postoperative period, and sustained action thatcan cover the 24-h postoperative ocular hypertensive period without requiring a repeat dose.Both latanoprost and brimonidine prevented IOP increase after phacoemulsification at 6, 12, and 24h postoperatively in our study. The IOP lowering effects of latanoprost and brimonidine applied 2h before surgery were compared with control data. When the three groups were compared at each time period.
