[Comparison of betamethasone and clobetasone butyrate eye drops and their effect on intraocular pressure (author's transl)].
The effect of clobetasone butyrate eye drops on ocular pressure was tested in 15 steroid responders suffering from different types of conjunctivitis and compared with betamethasone eye drops. Elevated intraocular pressure following application of 0.1% betamethasone eye drops decreased significantly within 2 weeks under medication with 0.1% clobetasone butyrate 4 times daily, whereas fellow eyes kept under treatment with betamethasone suffered further increases in IOP. The therapeutic effect and subjective compatibility of the two steroids were found to be approximately equal.
