OBJECTIVE The efficacy of dorzolamide/timolol fixed combination (DTFC) versus latanoprost/timolol fixed combination (LTFC) in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertensive patients. METHODS Patients were randomized to DTFC or LTFC for 6 weeks and switched to opposite treatment for Period 2. RESULTS Thirty-two completed patients had a mean diurnal IOP of 19.5+/-3.2 mmHg for DTFC and 18.9+/-3.4 mmHg for LTFC (p=0.12), with no significant difference found between DTFC and LTFC at any timepoint following a Bonferroni correction (p>or=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Patients treated with DTFC and LTFC have a statistically similar ocular hypotensive effect.
