2
Objectives
1. Understand the prevalence, severity and impact of OSD and glaucoma in the population.
2. Understand the clinical signs of OSD and glaucoma.
3. Understand the histological effects of BAK on the ocular surface.
4. Be familiar with recent studies examining the effects of topical glaucoma agents on patients.
5. Be familiar with all options for treating glaucoma patient with medications that do not include BAK.
3
OSD is Just Like Glaucoma
• A chronic disease the increases with age
• Definitions of the disease vary
• Signs of the disease rarely match the symptoms and vice versa
• Diagnostic tests are variable, not repeatable and often inconclusive
• Treatment regimens are variable and often not effective
• Majority of patients are non-compliant4
Why should we care?
5
Glaucoma Management and Ocular Surface Disease
A Very Current Topic
6
Glaucoma Management and OSD MOA 2014
M. Chaglasian, O.D. 2
Will there be something to replace topical therapy in
glaucoma in the near future?
7
Glaucoma Care for the Future
8
• New Ophthalmic Drug Delivery Systems are Coming for Glaucoma.– The future therapy for glaucoma remains
pharmacologically based (vs. laser/surgery).
– Some new therapeutic agents will arrive.
– But more importantly new drug delivery systems will significantly alter how we start therapy for our glaucoma patients.
New Delivery SystemsQLT's punctal plug
drug delivery technology
http://www.qltinc.com/development/technologies/punctalPlugDelivery.htm
Iluvien (Alimera)
• Iluvien– extended release intravitreal
• delivers fluocinolone acetonide, to the retina for up to three years for treatment of DME
– Completed Phase III Clinical Trial– Medidur™ Technology is a miniaturized,
injectable, sustained-release drug delivery system
Subconjunctival Injection
• Anecortave acetate– angiostatic, initially for wet AMD
– posterior juxtascleral injection
– initial success of 3 month IOP reduction, then failure in large scale studies
• Latanoprost– Encapulated in poly-glycolide micro particles
– Animal studies showed up to 30 days IOPreduction post injection

Clinical Trial Completed Mini Drug Pump
• MEMS– pump that is refillable,
enables long-term use, and possesses broad drug compatibility
• The pumping mechanism is based on electrolysis and the pump includes a drug refill port as well as a check valve to control drug delivery
– Current Eye Research, 35(3), 192–201, 2010
Replenish MicroPump
• Replenish, Inc. is developing a small, refillable, implantable ocular drug pump.
• The pump can be programmed to dispense precise nanoliter-sized doses (a drug flow sensor gives closed-feedback) of drugs every hour, day or month as needed over six to nine months before the next refill.
16Not Available in US http://www.replenishinc.com/
Iontophoresis
• Iontophoresis uses an electrical current to drive drugs in the form of ions through a tissue or membrane.

Look and sound familiar?• 75y/o female with primary
open angle glaucoma
• Controlled IOP, moderate field loss but STABLE.
• On Xalatan, Cosopt and Brimonidine
• You pat yourself on the back, ready to conquer the next challenging patient but wait… “that’s nice that my glaucoma is
doing well, but doctor, my eyes are tearing”
We Are Treating theWhole Patient
• Goals of Glaucoma Management– Treatment
• Lower IOP to Target
• Preserve Vision
– Quality of Life Considerations• Long Term Impact of Medications
• Balance of Efficacy and Side Effects

OSD (Glaucoma Today ’08)
• Any condition that adversely affects the
stability and function of the tear film.
• Common causes
dry eye syndrome, blepharitis,
meibomian gland dysfunction, and
preservative toxicity.
• Pathology involves corneal epithelial cell
changes, decreased goblet cell density,
and increased inflammatory mediators.

Detecting OSD
• Signs do not always match symptoms.
• Multiple approaches possible.
• Should be validated.
• Need a better system!

• Cationic surfactant properties (a detergent).
• In majority of ophthalmic medications (72%), ranging in concentrations from 0.004-0.02%.
• Preserves multi-dose containers from microbial contamination.
• Enhances corneal penetration of some drugs by causing epithelial separation.
• Efficacy impact on some drugs.

• High BAK Concentration: Cell Death is Dose-Dependent.1,2,3
– High Concentration in a Single Drop or Due to The Accumulation of Dose With Multiple Drops.
• Treatment of Chronic Ophthalmic Diseases, such as Glaucoma, with BAK Containing Medications.– Longer Duration of BAK Exposure Increased Corneal
Epithelial Cell Lysis.3

BAK Impact onOcular Surface Health
• Decreases Epithelial Cell Integrity.1
– Epithelial Barrier is Compromised.
– Healing is Impaired.
• Increases Conjunctival Inflammatory Cells.1
• Loss of Goblet Cells.1
• Reduction in Tear Function.2
• Decreases Tear Film Break-up Time (TBUT).2

Effects of BAK on theOcular Surface
• Cornea:– Accelerates superficial desquamation. – Disrupts permeability barrier.– Triggers apoptosis by 0.01% and necrosis by
0.05%.
• Conjunctiva:– Increases expression of HLA-DR antigen and
chemokine receptors.– Promotes inflammatory cell infiltration.– Goblet cell loss.

Chronic Effect of Preservatives
• Patients treated >1 year with preserved latanoprost (21), preserved timolol (15) or unpreserved timolol (17) were compared to normals.
• Unpreserved timolol was similar to controls.
• Preserved latanoprost and preserved timolol with 0.02% BAK showed pro-inflamatory and pro-apoptotic effects but less than 0.02% BAK alone.

Is Chronic Exposure to BAK a Big Deal?
“The Single Most Critical Advance in the Treatment of Dry Eye Came with The Elimination of Preservatives,
such as BAK from OTC Lubricants.”1
“BAK is Largely Responsible for the Ocular Toxicities and Inflammation Associated with the Chronic Use of
Many Ophthalmic Solutions.”2

• Concentration.
• Frequency and duration of use.
• Tear production and clearance (blink rate and corneal sensitivity).
• Contact lens use.
• Number and type of concurrent medications.
• Type of preservative.
Factors Contributing to Preservative Toxicity
S. Pflugfelder, MD70
Implications for Glaucoma Therapy
S. Pflugfelder, MD
• Chronic therapy with BAK preserved medications may:– Promote development of dry eye and OSD
– Increase risk of:• Corneal complications: haze, infiltrates, ulcers.
• Irritation symptoms.
• Decreased functional vision.
71
Other Clinical Effects on Chronic Glaucoma Medications
• Decreased mucus layer of the tear film.1
• Reduced tear secretion, basal Schirmers and TBUT.2,3
• Increased Rose-Bengal staining of cornea.4

Conclusions• In this evaluation of 691 POAG or OH patients
treated with Latanoprost or Bimatoprost monotherapy who demonstrated a need for greater tolerability, change to BAK-free travoprost resulted in significant improvements in OSDI, hyperemia, and patient preference at 3 months.
• Patient preference may have been driven by improved functionality including driving at night, reading, sensitivity to light, grittiness, pain, blurred vision, and computer work.

Compliance Component
• “A major cause of intolerance or poor tolerance to glaucoma medication is the ocular surface changes created by treatment.”

My Typical Approach
• Glaucoma Patient– New or established
• History– Specific for dry eye symptoms
– Questionnaire if necessary
• Thorough slit lamp – TBUT and Lissamine green
• With Positive Findings or Risk Factors– Review Medications and Treatment Options
– Patient Education
– Reduce the Preservative Load102
