Effect of Topical Hypotensive Medications for Preventing Intraocular Pressure Increase After Cataract Surgery in Eyes With Glaucoma

I read great interest the article by Hayashi and associates1 regarding the effect of 3 different topical antiglaucomatous agents on intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation after phacoemulsification in eyes with glaucoma. Similarly, in our recent prospective randomized study2 held on nonglaucomatous eyes, the authors suggested that brinzolamide is preferable for preventing an IOP spike after uneventful phacoemulsification. I have the following comments and concerns.
