Choroidal Thickness Increase After Latanoprost Treatment
Abstract:
Latanoprost is the first prostaglandin analogue introduced for glaucoma treatment whose action is not fully understood until today. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of latanorpost on choroidal thickness in a group of 16 eyes in patients newly diagnosed with glaucoma using last generation OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). The IOP (intraocular pressure) and the subfoveal choroidal thickness were measured before and after one week, one month, 3 and 6 months of treatment with latanoprost. The subfoveal choroidal thickness was 219.2±63.8µm before treatment and 255.6±76.4µm after one week of treatment. Increased thickness of the choroid seven days post-intervention correlates with decreased intraocular pressure from 29.0±3.2mmHg pre-intervention to 17.6±3.1mmHg p[0.001 (p=0.018). The results of this study confirm the idea of latanoprost uveoscleral alternative drainage increase.
