The purpose was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of travoprost and timolol use in the treatment of patients with initial stage of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), as well as a preservative effect on the state of the cornea. Material and Methods. We observed 30 patients with a diagnosis of POAG first revealed. Group 1 patients (24 eyes) afforded 0.004% solution travoprost, patients in Group 2 (16 eyes) — 0.5% solution of timolol maleate. Patients in Group 1 who received travoprost with ВАК were administered travoprost with preservative polyquad in the same mode instillation. After 3 months after changing medication patients underwent examination of the cornea by laser scanning confocal imaging. Results. Intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients in Group 1 dropped from 33±3mm Hg. Article 18±2mm Hg.Art. In group 2, IOP decreased from 32±2mm Hg. to 21 ±1,5 mm Hg. Art. After 3 months of treatment with travoprost polyquad total number of epithelial cells of the cornea increased to 6231 ±415 cells/ mm2, signs of edema were not detected in 18 of 24 eyes in 6 cases, swelling of the corneal epithelium decreased, decreased number of "bright" keratocytes, endothelial cells well visualized and of hexagonal shape. Conclusion. Application of travoprost in patients with POAG provides a marked hypotensive effect compared with timolol. Application of travoprost with polyquad improves the state of the front layers of the epithelium and the corneal stroma of patients with glaucoma, reduced patients complaints to sensation of a foreign body and eye discomfort and redness.

The purpose of the study is to develop a comprehensive treatment aimed at improving uveoscleral outflow in the application of dynamic laser magnetic stimulation of the drainage system of the eye and evaluation of its effectiveness in treating patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Material. 106 patients diagnosed POAG I, II, III stages were examined. Group 1 consisted of 62 patients treated with medical therapy and dynamic laser magnetic stimulation of the drainage system of the eye using the "AMO-ATOS-ICL", produced by JSC "TRIMA", Saratov. Group 2 consisted of 64 patients who received only medical therapy. Comprehensive survey including standard eye examination, static perimetry, visual evoked potentials study, the study of intraocular blood flow was conducted to all patients. Analysis of the results of the complex therapeutic effects showed that as the result of treatment 73% of patients had a decrease of intraocular pressure and the ease factor outflow increase. 52% of patients had a decrease in the number and area of relative. 63% of patients had activation of intraocular blood flow. These indices remained stable for three months. Conclusion. The treatment with the technique of dynamic laser magnetic stimulation of the drainage system of the eye of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma leads to lower intraocular pressure, and to the improvement of dopple-rographic and perimetric indications.
