Brief Summary:
There is a lack of evidence on the impact of switching from a combined preserved anti-glaucoma regimen to a preservative-free (PF) one, while employing sufficiently robust OSD metrics. The investigators have therefore carried out a single center, prospective, crossover investigation to compare the 6-month effect of switching well controlled open-angle glaucoma patients with at least moderate glaucoma therapy-related ocular surface disease from preserved to triple preservative-free therapy with and without cyclosporine 0.1% dosed in the evening.
Detailed Description:
Halting and reversing glaucoma therapy-related ocular surface disease (GTR-OSD) will improve the success of long-term medical therapy, impacting millions of patients worldwide. Chronic medical therapy for glaucoma may be immensely benefitted by limiting disabling GTR-OSD, which would aid in the prevention of blindness. In 2015 a novel cationic formulation of cyclosporine A 0.1% was approved with once in the evening dosing in Europe. It is an effective, targeted immunomodulatory compound reducing inflammatory mediators and providing healing of the ocular epithelium. There remains however a paucity of published controlled evidence for GTR-OSD patients treated with this formulation. In addition, there is a lack of evidence on the impact of switching from a combined preserved anti-glaucoma regimen, to a preservative-free one, while employing sufficiently robust OSD metrics. The investigators have therefore carried out a single center prospective, crossover investigation to compare the 6-month effect of switching well controlled open-angle glaucoma patients with at least moderate GTR-OSD, from preserved to triple PF therapy with and without PF cyclosporine 0.1% dosed in the evening.
