Patients prefer bimatoprost in bilateral comparison study
September 01, 2006
Charleston, SC-By implementing a different treatment regimen in each eye of patients with glaucoma, Alfred M. Solish, MD, found that not only does bimatoprost (Lumigan, Allergan) appear more effective than travoprost (Travatan, Alcon Laboratories) for reducing IOP, but also when given a choice of treatment, patients tend to prefer bimatoprost for that reason. Dr. Solish presented the results of that analysis in a poster at the American Glaucoma Society annual meeting.
