The distinguishing characteristics of the prostaglandin derivatives include a unique mechanism of action, once-daily dosing and the lack of systemic side effects.

Methods: The left eye of 6 healthy cats was treated over 180 degrees, while the right eye was used as a control. A Ti:A1203 laser (790nm, four to five 200ns pulses, 7 microseconds pulse train, 200um spot, SOLX, Boston, MA) producing energies of 8 to 84mJ was used.展开更多
