Summary: | Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effect timolol/brinzolomid fixed-combination drugs on intraocular pressure. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study. The primary open angle glaucoma patients that were switched to fixed-combination drugs due to high intraocular pressure despite monotherapy were included to the study. The intraocular pressure records of 4.week and 4.month were compared. Results: The baseline intraocular pressure levels were timolol/dorzolamid group and 23,1±2,8 (17-28 mmHg) in timolol/brinzolamid group. After 4.weeks of combination treatment intraocular pressure levels were 15,3 ±2,3 mmHg (1120mmHg) in timolol/ dorzolomid and 15,8±2,7(1119mmHg) in timolol/brinzolomid. After 4.nmonths of combination treatment intraocular pressure levels were 15,8±3,1 (11-21mmHg) in timolol/dorzolamid group timolol/brinzolomid group. There statistically significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Both fixed combination drugs decreased the intraocular pressure successfully but there was no statistically significant difference between intraocular pressure levels at 4.week and 4.month.
