Added dorzolamide was associated with lower mean diurnal intraocular pressure.

Purpose

This prospective, multicenter, single-masked study evaluated the additive effect of dorzolamide hydrochloride 2% on the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) curve and retinal and retrobulbar hemodynamics in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (primary open-angle glaucoma) treated with morning-dosed bimatoprost 0.03%.

Methods

Eighty-nine patients (aged, 60.7 ± 11.8 years, range 33-80; 68 women) with primary open-angle glaucoma received bimatoprost dosed once in the morning for 1 month, after which dorzolamide was added twice daily for 2 months.

n = 68 women
Results

lower pressure inside the eye after dorzolamide was added

12.9mmHg
dorzolamide adjunctive
13.6mmHg
bimatoprost monotherap
More results

Mean baseline IOP was 16.5 ± 3.4 mmHg.

Adjunctive dorzolamide therapy significantly decreased vascular resistance in the ophthalmic artery (p = 0.02).

Mean diastolic blood pressure and ocular perfusion pressures were significantly lower after adjunctive therapy.

There were no changes in retinal microcirculation between the two phases of treatment.

“
Conclusion

Adjunctive dorzolamide therapy to morning-dosed bimatoprost 0.03% reduced diurnal IOP and vascular resistance in the ophthalmic artery but did not alter retinal circulation in this group of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
