Popis: Purpose To compare the tolerance and efficacy of preservative-free latanoprost (latanoprost-PF) after switching from benzalkonium chloride containing agent (latanoprost-BAK). Methods 140 patients with glaucoma or OHT controlled by latanoprost–BAK were included into the study. At a baseline visit (D0) a new formulation of latanoprost-FP (Monoprost ®, Laboratoires Thea) was introduced. An observation was conducted, including three visits after 15, 45 and 90 days from the baseline (D15, D45, D90 respectively). The following outcomes were evaluated: BCVA, IOP, TBUT, corneal fluorescein staining and subjective assessment of tolerance by patient using 10- point VAS scale (0 - very good, 10 - very poor tolerance). Results Mean IOP during all subsequent visits was reduced compared to the baseline (p
