Popis: To evaluate the safety of two commercially available formulations of bimatoprost eye drops: 0.03 and 0.01% ophthalmic solutions. This was a randomized, prospective, parallel-group, open-label, cohort study. A total of 60 glaucoma patients (60 eyes) under bimatoprost 0.03% monotherapy since at least 1 year were enrolled. Selected patients were randomized to receive a single drop of bimatoprost 0.01% (n=30) or bimatoprost 0.03% (n=30) ophthalmic solutions for 12 months. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA test. Global clinical score (the sum of pruritus, stinging/burning, blurred vision, sticky eye sensation, eye dryness sensation, and foreign body sensation) significantly decreased in the bimatoprost 0.01% group from baseline 4.7±3.8 to 2.9±2.3 (P
