To report a patient with Danon retinopathy with cystoid macular edema treated with topical dorzolamide 2% eye drops and oral acetazolamide. A 37-year-old Caucasian man with Danon disease treated with topical and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors participated in the study. Examinations performed before and during treatment included visual acuity (VA), spectral-domain optical coherence tomograph...

A case of an 85 year-old white man with bilateral senile cataract and advanced primary open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled with maximal medical therapy, asteroid hyalosis in OD and age-related macular degeneration in OS, submitted to a phacotrabeculectomy OU with mitomycin-C is reported. Because the surgery failed in both eyes, even after laser suture lysis, 5-FU injections and needling, it was ne...

Travoprost is a prostaglandin analog used in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension for reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). The IOP-lowering efficacy of travoprost has been shown to be similar to that of other prostaglandins, including latanoprost and bimatoprost. When compared with fixed combinations of timolol and either latanoprost or dorzolamide, travoprost alone can reduce mea...

We present a case of transpupillary argon laser cyclophotocoagulation (TALC) in a patient with traumatic aniridia and aphakia secondary to blunt trauma who had previous bilateral trabeculectomy. Four months after the trauma the patient's intraocular pressure (IOP) rose to 35 mmHg despite topical antiglaucomatous medication. Inferior 180 degrees cyclophotocoagulation was performed with transpupi...

We describe a 66-year-old man who developed bilateral choroidal detachment that was induced by unilateral topical administration of a fixed combination of 1% brinzolamide and 0.5% timolol maleate the day after an uneventful phacoemulsification surgery and intraocular lens implantation involving his right eye. We believe that the reaction was an idiosyncratic reaction, most likely against brinzo...

Purpose. To evaluate hemodynamic parameters as possible predictors for glaucoma progression. Methods. An 18-month randomized double-masked cohort study including 30 open-angle glaucoma patients receiving fixed-combination treatment with Dorzolamide/Timolol (DTFC) or Latanoprost/Timolol (LTFC) (n = 15 per group) was performed. Intraocular pressure (IOP), arterial blood pressure (BP), ocular and ...

Material and Methods: This study was conducted at outpatient department, Ophthalmology unit, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. Study design was randomized controlled trial and (group B receiving Timolol 0.5% and Dorzolamide 2% was considered as control group) the duration of the study was 6 months in which a total of 136 patients were included.
