Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare efficacy in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) by 2% carteolol, topically administered in two different forms: standard (2% Atreoptic) – twice daily and formulated with alginate with prolonged eye delivery (2% Carteol LP) – once daily in patients with priamry open angle glaucoma (POAG). This comparison was performed by measuring daily IOP curve with Pascal dynamic contour tonometer. We found no statistically significant differences in hipotension activity between these two forms of the drug, exept 3.00 pm measurement, indicating better IOP reduction by 2% Carteol LP. The differences in daily IOP fluctuations were also not significant. We assumed that 2% carteolol formulated with alginate is similarily effective and topically tolerated as its standandard form and it may be alternatively used in POAG therapy.
 
Key words: primary open angle glaucoma, carteolol, Pascal contour dynamic tonometer.
