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.
