The aim of this work is to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of preservative containing 0.0015% tafluprost and preservative-free 0.0015% tafluprost using a prospective crossover study.
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normotensive glaucoma (NTG) patients were randomized enrolled. Group 1 ("NPT to PT") patients used preservative-free 0.0015% tafluprost (NPT) for 6 months and then changed to preservative containing 0.0015% tafluprost(PT) for 6 months. Group 2 ("PT to NPT") patients used preservative containing 0.0015% tafluprost for 6 months and changed to preservative-free 0.0015% tafluprost for 6 months. At 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, and 12 months, we measured intraocular pressure for efficacy and graded corneal erosion, tear break-up time (TBUT), and subjective discomfort.
A total of 20 patients and 20 eyes were enrolled. In Group 1 and 2, intraocular pressure was well controlled to approximately 14 mmHg (9.38-18.46% decrease). Generally, subjective satisfaction was improved after changing from PT to NPT (p = 0.03) and TBUT using PT was numerically inferior to that using NPT (p = 0.06) but not when changing from NPT to PT.
Both preservative containing and preservative-free 0.0015% tafluprost reduced intraocular pressure significantly. In addition, changing medication from PT to NPT might improve subjective satisfaction and tear break up time.

本研究旨在通过前瞻性交叉研究评估含0.0015%他氟前列素防腐剂和不含防腐剂的0.0015%他氟前列素的疗效和耐受性。
原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)和正常眼压性青光眼(NTG)患者被随机纳入研究。第1组(“从无防腐剂到含防腐剂组”)患者使用不含防腐剂的0.0015%他氟前列素(NPT)6个月,然后改用含0.0015%他氟前列素防腐剂的药物(PT)6个月。第2组(“从含防腐剂到无防腐剂组”)患者使用含0.0015%他氟前列素防腐剂的药物6个月,然后改用不含防腐剂的0.0015%他氟前列素6个月。在第1、3、6、7、9和12个月时,我们测量眼压以评估疗效,并对角膜糜烂、泪膜破裂时间(TBUT)和主观不适进行分级。
共纳入20例患者20只眼。在第1组和第2组中,眼压得到良好控制,降至约14 mmHg(降低9.38 - 18.46%)。总体而言,从PT改为NPT后主观满意度有所提高(p = 0.03),使用PT时的TBUT在数值上低于使用NPT时(p = 0.06),但从NPT改为PT时并非如此。
含0.0015%他氟前列素防腐剂和不含防腐剂的药物均能显著降低眼压。此外,从PT改为NPT可能会提高主观满意度和泪膜破裂时间。
