Protocol summary

Summary
Forty eyes of 20 patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) or early primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in both eyes ,with considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria mentioned before, were prospectively enrolled in this randomized crossover study. At baseline, subjects underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, IOP measurement with a calibrated Goldmann applanation tonometer, gonioscopy, dilated fundoscopic examination, and automated perimetry (SITA Standard algorithm with 24-2 test pattern). In eligible patients, the IOP lowering medications, if any, were discontinued before baseline measurement. Afterwards, patients were randomly treated with once daily dose of latanoprost 0.005% eyedrop at 9 PM in one eye (group 1) and every other day dose in the other eye (group 2) for 1 month. After 1 month, IOP was measured and recorded for 2 consecutive days at the same time points (9 AM, 4PM, 9PM). Then instillation frequency was switched between the two eyes of the same patient, and the IOP was measured 1 month later in exactly the same way as at the end of the first month. By definition, in the first month, group 1 included eyes receiving the once daily dose of latanoprost and group 2 consisted of eyes receiving the every other day regime. Therefore, in the second month, group 1 consisted of eyes receiving medication every other day and group 2 included eyes receiving the once daily dose. The main outcome measures were the mean change in diurnal IOPs in both groups.Any adverse events were recorded
