The authors report the results obtained in a group of 52 eyes affected by open-angle glaucoma (OAG), whose intraocular pressure (IOP) was inadequately controlled by two drugs of different pharmacological categories, into which latanoprost was introduced, both in place of one of the two drugs and in addition to the preceding therapy. The ocular hypotensive effect was good (21.74%). The ibopamine provocative test, carried out before latanoprost administration, and at three and six months into the treatment, gave evidence that outflow pathway compromise was uninfluenced by the drug.
