Atmospheric pressure discharges in Ne, N2 and N2/O2 gases have been investigated with a novel high-voltage pulse power supply. Three characteristic types of discharge modes were observed: (1) diffuse glow discharge seen in Ne gas both with the eye and high-speed camera; (2) diffuse glow-like discharge in N2 gas observed with the eye, but seen as a vague filamentary discharge with a high-speed camera; and (3) clear filamentary discharge in N2/O2 gas mixture both with the eye and high-speed camera. Characteristics in the current and voltage waveforms revealed that the existence of the second voltage with opposite polarity following the first impulse voltage was important to have a diffuse glow-like discharge. This suggests that elimination of the memory effect by non-uniformly distributed charges on the surface is important for obtaining the diffuse mode because the non-uniformity triggers a positive feedback to the current constriction at the points with higher charge density, and results in filamentation of the discharge.

Brinzolamide and timolol added to latanoprost have similar ocular hypotensive effects and safety in primary open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, or ocular hypertension.
