Abstract | Aim and Objective: Design: Prospective, randomized, comparative, interventional study. Setting: Tertiary eye care centre. Material and Method: The present study was a comparative study carried out on patients visiting OPD of Ophthalmology Department and diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma. Group 1 (n-30 BT) received brinzolamide1% and timolol0.5% fixed combination eye drops, and Group 2 (N-30 DT) patients received dorzolamide2% and timolol0.5% fixed combination eye drops. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed, including Goldmann applanation tonometry. IOP was measured twice daily (9 AM and 4 PM). The patients were evaluated at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. IOP was measured at follow-up. Side effects and tolerability of both drugs were assessed, and patient preference for drugs was noted. Results: Mean reduction in morning IOP was significantly more in Group 1 than in Group 2 at 8 weeks and 12 weeks (p < 0.05). Mean reduction in evening IOP was significantly more in Group 1 than in Group 2 at all follow-ups (p < 0.05). Conclusion:
