FUMERO GONZALEZ, Francisco Yunier et al. New drug constellations for glaucoma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2017, vol.30, n.4, pp. 1-6. ISSN 1561-3070.

The present review is aimed at presenting the new therapeutic options to treat glaucoma. Medical treatment of glaucoma has undergone surprising progress as of the emergence of new hypotensive collyriums. Various firms are currently conducting research into the simplest, most effective and best tolerated therapeutic alternatives. Prostaglandin analogues are considered to be the first line therapy, but new, promising drugs are also being developed, such as latanoprostene bunod (Vesneo), netarsudil 0.02 % (Rhopressa), trabodenoson (Inotek Pharmaceuticals) and other sustained release compounds. A large number of clinical assays have been implemented and many publications have been made in the United States, the European Union and Japan which, curiously enough, have been given names of planets or constellations.

Keywords : glaucoma; drugs; clinical assays.
