Optic Nerve Perfusion Following Treatment with Latanoprost Versus Brimionidin Tartrate

Optic Nerve Head Perfusion Following Treatment with Latanoprost 0.005% Versus Brimionidin Tartrate 0.2% in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma: an Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of topical Latanoprost 0.005 % versus Brimionidin tartrate 0.2% on perfusion of optic nerve head This prospective interventional randomized study included 56 naive patients recently diagnosed with bilateral primary open angle glaucoma equally divided into two groups with 28 patients in each group

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of topical Latanoprost 0.005 % versus Brimionidin tartrate 0.2% on perfusion of optic nerve head This prospective interventional randomized study included 56 naive patients recently diagnosed with bilateral POAG equally divided into two groups with 28 patients in each group. The whole VD was increased and also increased in all four nasal, temporal, superior, and inferior quadrants around optic disc from the initial vessel density before treatment (p<0.001) in both groups significantly with superior improvement in group (1) compared to group (2) that was statistically significant

Inclusion Criteria:

• age more than 18 years newly diagnosed naive patients with POAG

Exclusion Criteria:

• optic nerve lesions other than glaucomatous changes patients with previous glaucoma surgery
