The primary purpose of this study is to show, through a controlled masked clinical study of OHT patients, that latanoprost increases the low uveoscleral drainage of aqueous humor (Fu) back to normal levels, and timolol maleate reduces the formation of aqueous humor (Fa) below normal.

It is logical to assume that it would be more efficacious to treat OHT patients with drugs that reduce IOP by increasing uveoscleral outflow (which is abnormally low) than with drugs that reduce aqueous flow (which is normal in OHT). Aqueous flow rate did not change in these patients. These changes are the cause of the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).

Why Should I Register and Submit Results?Ī recent publication by our laboratory has shown that patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) have reduced uveoscleral outflow and reduced trabecular outflow facility compared with healthy age-matched controls.
