| Abstract | PURPOSE: To compare the ocular hypotensive effect of travoprost plus timolol (TTFC) and latanoprost plus timolol fixed combinations (LTFC) in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS: A two-sequence 12-week, multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blinded, crossover clinical trial examined 59 NTG patients. If both eyes were eligible, only one eye (chosen at random) was used for analytical purposes. After a 12-week run-in period with dorzolamide plus timolol fixed combination (DTFC), patients were randomized into one of the two crossover sequences of treatment for 12 weeks with TTFC or LTFC and were subsequently crossed over to the alternative treatment for a further 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was reduction in IOP after 12 weeks of each treatment sequence. The effect of treatment on IOP was assessed using a linear mixed model. RESULTS: The mean baseline IOP was 14.8 ± 3.3 mm Hg (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.1-15.3 mm Hg) for treatment with DTFC. The TTFC treatment period showed consistently lower mean IOP compared with LTFC treatment period at all measurement time points. Mean reduction in IOP at 12 weeks was significantly greater in the TTFC group than in the LTFC group (-2.4 ± 2.3 mm Hg vs. -1.1 ± 2.3 mm Hg; P = 0.021). No interaction between the drug and treatment sequence was detected. The effects of intraocular lens implantation and measurement time were also not significant. The tolerability profiles of both treatments were similar. CONCLUSIONS: The additional reduction in IOP was greater with TTFC than with LTFC, and their tolerability profiles were similar.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
