Effects of anti-glaucoma prostaglandin ophthalmic solutions on cultured human corneal epithelial cells.

CONCLUSIONS: Xalatan and Lumigan 0.01% ophthalmic solutions demonstrated potent cytotoxicity compared with Lumigan 0.03%, Travatan, Taflotan and Taflotan UD. Taflotan UD, compared to Taflotan 0.0015%, induced less oxidative stress and apoptotic signalling. The cytotoxicity might be partly associated with benzalkonium chloride.
