Resumen
MONTERO-DE-ESPINOSA, I.; MARQUEZ-DE-ARACENA, R. y MORALES, C.. Ocular hypertension in children treated with brimonidine 0.2%. A clinical study. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.3, pp.155-160. ISSN 0365-6691.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical brimonidine 0.2% use in children. Materials and methods: A descriptive study of twelve successive children (21 eyes) who needed topical treatment of intraocular hypertension, and where the use of b-blockers was contraindicated. Results: During treatment we observed an average decrease of IOP of 5 SD 1.8 mmHg (21% of basal IOP), but found more common local symptoms, with stinging being complained of in 52.4% of cases. Somnolence was also complained of in two cases.
