Abstract Purpose:To report the incidence of corneal epithelial disorder of ophthalmic solution latanoprost and fixed combination of latanoprost and timolol, in order to evaluate the role of timolol on the corneal damage.

Cases and Method:This study was made on 470 eyes of 470 glaucoma patients. 0.005% latanoprost was used in 342 patients. Fixed combination of 0.005% latanoprost and 0.5 timolol was used in 84 patients. Patients were examined every 2 months for one year.

Results:Superficial punctate epitheliopathy was observed once or more in 127 patients(37.1%)receiving latanoprost alone and in 34 patients(40.5%)receiving fixed combination. The difference was not significant(p=0.6). The incidence was significantly correlated with age in both groups(p<0.0001). There was no difference in the incidence of corneal lesion between the 2 groups in age groups less than 70 years, 70 to 79 years, or 80 years or over.

Conclusion:Incidence of superficial punctate epitheliopathy was positively correlated with age during one year of treatment with latanoprost or latanoprost-timolol ophthalmic solution. No significant difference was present between cases treated by latanoprost alone or fixed combination of latanoprost-timolol.
