Development and Validation of a Predictive Model for Nonadherence with Once-Daily Glaucoma Medications
Conclusions:
The TDA-derived predictive model for nonadherence performed well in an independent population. A risk scoring system was developed using demographic data and patient responses to 4 questions to provide an estimate of the probability of being nonadherent.

Ocular surface tolerability of prostaglandin analogs and prostamides in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite preservative differences, there were no significant differences in objective clinical measures of ocular surface tolerability after 3 months of treatment with bimatoprost (with 0.02% BAK), travoprost (with sofZia), and latanoprost (with 0.02% BAK).

Expansion of Schlemm's Canal by Travoprost in Healthy Subjects Determined by Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography [Glaucoma]
Conclusions.
SC can be noninvasively imaged and quantitatively assessed in the living healthy human eye by FD-OCT. Travoprost treatment leads to SC lumen expansion accompanied by a drop of IOP in the healthy eye, likely as a result of the enhancement of pressure sensitive trabecular meshwork outflow induced by travoprost.
