Abstract. Purpose:To report changes in intraocular pressure(IOP)after switching topical latanoprost to tafluprost in glaucoma patients. Cases and Method:This study was made on 25 eyes of 25 patients of glaucoma. The series comprised 10 males and 15 females. The age ranged from 47 to 85 years,average 66 years. Primary open-angle glaucoma was present in 7 cases,normal-tension glaucoma in 14,and chronic angle-closure glaucoma in 4. Changes in IOP by 2 mmHg or over were defined as success or failure. Results:IOP averaged 16.8±3.6 mmHg before and 14.3±3.2 mmHg 12 weeks after switching from 0.005% latanoprost to 0.0015% tafluprost. The difference was significant. IOP decreased by 2 mmHg or more in 52% of cases. Three cases had to be treated by another drug due to insufficient hypotensive effect. Conclusion:Switching from topical latanoprost to tafluprost may induce further decrease in IOP in glaucoma patients.
