•We enrolled in the present study consecutive newly diagnosed and previously untreated POAG patients who demonstrated typical optic disc excavation and visual field abnormalities. We included POAG patients older than 45 years with no previous history of ocular surgery or laser. Additional inclusion criteria were:
•1. Open-angle by gonioscopy (Grade III-IV according to Shaffer?s grading system)
•2. Untreated diurnal IOP between 23 and 32 mm Hg (mean of the two highest values recorded in a daytime IOP curve with measurements every 2 hours between 08:00 and 18:00 by a calibrated Goldmann applanation tonometry)
•3. Visual acuity 20/40 or better
•4. Mean defect >6 dB using the Humphrey 24-2 program (Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer model 745 perimeter, Humphrey Instruments, Inc., USA)
•5. No history of allergy to the ingredients of any of the study drugs
•6. No history of cardiovascular disease (e.g. arterial hypertension, heart disease, arrhythmia)
•7. No concomitant systemic treatment (e.g. beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors) that could modify IOP, or blood pressure.
•8. Females were enrolled in the study only if they were postmenopausal or were using contraceptives
