  Objectives: Retrospective study to compare long-term effects of treatment with β-blockers and prostaglandins by assessing changes in visual fields. Methods and Patients: The group included 60 patients of approximately the same age (61 and 62 year olds), with the same changes in the visual field and the same central corneal thickness (556 μm), of which 30 were treated with β-blockers (18 females and 12 males) and 30 with prostaglandins (15 females and 15 males). There were no changes in medication in the course of treatment. During the follow-ups, the intraocular pressure was in the range 10 to 20 mmHg. We evaluated the changes in visual fields (pattern defects) at the last examination in 2012. The results were compared with findings in visual fields from 2005. No subject had any eye or systemic disease that could affect changes .. View More»
