---|---|
Experimental: Prostaglandin Analog vs Timolol
In this group, with thyroid eye disease and increased intraocular pressure in both eyes, prostaglandin analog eyedrop (bimatoprost 0.01%, travoprost z 0.004%, tafluprost 0.0015% or latanoprost 0.005%) will be administered once a day, topically, into one - randomised eye. Timolol 0.5% eye drop will be administered topically in second, control eye, two times a day.
|
Drug: Prostaglandin Analog
The first choice drug from group of Prostaglandin Analogues will be bimatoprost, if patient will suffer from any side effect of this drug another drug from this group will be administer. If patient turned out to cannot tolerate the prostaglandin analog therapy then the exclusion criteria will be met.
Other Names:
Drug: Timolol
Timolol topical eye drop will be administered in Prostaglandin Analog vs Timolol arm only, in patients with elevated intraocular pressure in both eyes.
Other Name: Timolol maleate 0.5%

Experimental: Prostaglandin Analog
In this group, with thyroid eye disease and increased intraocular pressure in only one eye Prostaglandin Analog eyedrop (bimatoprost 0.01%, travoprost z 0.004%, tafluprost 0.0015% or latanoprost 0.005%) will be administered once a day, topically, into one, affected eye.

Drug: Prostaglandin Analog
The first choice drug from group of Prostaglandin Analogues will be bimatoprost, if patient will suffer from any side effect of this drug another drug from this group will be administer. If patient turned out to cannot tolerate the prostaglandin analog therapy then the exclusion criteria will be met.
