Abstract:AIM:To evaluate the intraocular pressure(IOP) lowering efficacy of travoprost eye drops on the remnant glaucoma.METHODS:Totally 12 glaucoma patients(14 eyes) diagnosed as remnant glaucoma(21mmHg≤IOP≤30mmHg) were given travoprost eye drops once every night.The observing duration was 3 months.The IOP before and after the administration of the eye drops were observed.RESULTS:The IOP lowering efficacy was obvious in all cases.The average IOP lowering ranged between 37.69% and 38.44% in the 3 months.CONCLUSION:Travoprost can be used as the first choice for the treatment of the remnant glaucoma(21mmHg≤IOP≤30mmHg).
