BACKGROUND: This study compares intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and retrobulbar hemodynamic effects of bimatoprost and travoprost in patients with newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma. METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups (bimatoprost group, n = 36; travoprost group, n = 46). IOP levels were measured with Goldmann applanation tonometer. Peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity and resistivity index were obtained for each vessel by color Doppler imaging. RESULTS: Both bimatoprost and travoprost significantly lowered IOP on days 30, 90 and 180 (p < 0.001). There was no significance between the 2 drugs on all follow-up visits. End-diastolic velocity of central retinal artery on day 180 was significantly higher than the value obtained at baseline in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Patients were likely to achieve and maintain low target IOP with both drugs. Both drugs also resulted in improvement in the central retinal artery blood flow. Copyright 2008 S.
