Purpose:

To evaluate the medical treatment results in patients of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG)

Methods:

The data collected for patients with POAG included the patient's demographic details and the drugs prescribed.

Results:

In a total 96 prescriptions analyzed, all drugs were prescribed by topical route as eye drops. β blockers (91.66%) were found to be the most frequently prescribed for POAG. Timolol (79.14%) was the most frequently prescribed drug and timolol with acetazolamide (49.15%) was the most commonly prescribed drug combination.

Conclusion:

POAG was found to be most prevalent in age group 40-60 years and more prevalent in females than males. β-blockers were first line drugs as monotherapy for POAG, timolol being the first choice as it is cost-effective. Timolol and a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor was the most frequently prescribed combination.
