Abstract. Purpose:To compare the effect of travoprost and latanoprost ophthalmic solution on the corneal epithelium. Cases and Method:This study was made on 16 eyes of 16 patients who developed superficial punctuate keratitis during treatment of glaucoma by 0.005% latanoprost. The series comprised 5 males and 11 females. The age ranged from 39 to 81 years,average 65 years. Latanoprost was switched to 0.004% travoprost ophthalmic solution. Intraocular pressure(IOP)and keratopathy were evaluated before and one month after switching. Five cases in the series were using one and six were using two glaucoma medications concomitantly. Results:IOP remained unchanged one month after switching. Keratopathy improved in 11 eyes(73%),remained unchanged in 3(20%)and worsened in one(7%). Conclusion:Travoprost ophthalmic solution showed hypotensive effect similar to latanoprost and appeared to be safer to the corneal epithelium.
