Subjects were excluded if their treatment regimen was changed within 1 year after initiation of adjunctive therapy with brimonidine. We investigated the frequency of DH and intraocular pressure (IOP). Both parameters were compared before and after adjunctive administration of brimonidine.Results: The frequency of DH before and after brimonidine administration was 0.67± 0.68 and 0.31± 0.72 times/year, respectively, with a significant decrease (P=0.01), and the mean IOP before and after brimonidine administration was 12.5± 1.9 and 11.2± 2.2 mmHg, respectively, (P=0.0006) with a significant reduction after adjunctive administration.Conclusion: The results of this study supported the hypothesis that the frequency of DH is reduced by brimonidine alongside lowering of IOP.Keywords: disc hemorrhage, intraocular pressure, brimonidine, primary open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucomaNitta KShimamoto SWajima RTachibana GYamada YDomoto MTakeda RTakahashi YSugiyama KDove Medical Pressarticledisc hemorrhageintraocular pressurebrimonidineprimary open-angle glaucomanormal-tension glaucomaOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 213-219 (2020)
