目的:ラタノプロストを含む複数の点眼薬で加療中の症例に対し,ラタノプロスト単剤に変更した後の眼圧の検討。対象と方法:複数の点眼薬で加療中の緑内障5例7眼を対象とした。内訳は,原発開放隅角緑内障4眼,続発緑内障2眼,囊性緑内障1眼である。ラタノプロスト以外の薬剤を中止し,変更前と変更後8週間以後の眼圧を検討した。観察期間は平均61.7±6.5週であった。結果:全7眼での変更前5回の平均眼圧は16.2mmHg,変更後は15.4mmHgであり,変更前後の眼圧に有意差はなかった(p=0.21)。結論:緑内障に対するラタノプロストの単独投与により点眼薬の数と点眼回数を減少することが可能であり,コンプライアンスの向上と角膜障害の予防が期待できる。
Purpose:To evaluate changes in intraocular pressure before and after withdrawal of topical medications except latanoprost. Cases and Method:This study involved 7 eyes of 5 patients who had been treated by multiple topical medications including latanoprost. The series comprised primary open-angle glaucoma 4 eyes,secondary glaucoma 2 eyes and capsular glaucoma 1 eye. Tonometry was performed before withdrawal of medications except latanoprost and after 8 weeks following withdrawal. They were followed up for 61.7±6.5 weeks. Results:The intraocular pressure(OP)averaged 16.2 mmHg before withdrawal and 15.4 mmHg after withdrawal. The difference was not significant(p=0.21). Conclusion:Treatment with latanoprost alone was equally effective as multiple medications. Latanoprost monotherapy may lead to improved complicance and less damage to the cornea.
