Bimatoprost SR demonstrated favorable efficacy and safety through 6 months. All dose strengths were comparable to topical bimatoprost in overall IOP reduction through week 16. A single administration controlled IOP in the majority of patients for up to 6 months.
Clear corneal phacoemulsification and the implantation of a copolymer acrylic (AcrySof, Alcon) posterior chamber intraocular lens statistically increased the number of medications and IOP of patients in our study. These increases, although statistically significant, did not cause a clinically significant deterioration in IOP control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
