Brief Summary:
This study examines patient perceptions regarding the tolerability of two classes of glaucoma medication: bimatoprost and latanoprost.

Condition or disease
Glaucoma

Detailed Description:
Patients enrolled in this study completed a validated survey instrument (COMTOL) examining tolerability of topically applied ophthalmic medications that they are already taking in their regular course of care for glaucoma. The purpose of the study is to determine whether side effects and symptoms of the drugs already being taken cause problems with activities of daily living.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tolerability of Medications as Measured by the COMTOL Validated Instrument [ Time Frame: at the time of enrollment in the clinic, patients will immediately complete the questionnaire and exit the study ]
    Patients who are already taking the medications of interest will be enrolled from a general ophthalmology practice. Immediately after consenting to participate, they will complete a validated survey instrument called the Comparison of Ophthalmic Medication for Primary Outcome Measure Tolerability (COMTOL) questionnaire (Ophthalmology 1997; : 104:334-342). Because this study will not be a crossover trial design, and patients will only continue taking the medications they were prescribed in the course of their glaucoma therapy, the modified version will eliminate questions in the COMTOL related to subjective comparison of two medications and instead focus on tolerability of the single medication being taken by test subjects.


Biospecimen Retention:   None Retained
Note patients will be recruited to fill out a questionnaire, describing their symptoms related to glaucoma use drops. In this study, we are examining only patients taking either bimatoprost or latanoprost, thus 2 cohorts. However, this is not an interventional study, and there will be only one study visit (enrollment and questionnaire at the same time) and no change in the patient's prescribed therapy.
