The uniocular therapeutic trial in the management of elevated intraocular pressure.
A trial of topical therapy in one eye is advocated as part of the evaluation of the patient with elevated intraocular pressure. This will determine the effectiveness of pressure reduction and the side effects that can be expected. The results of such a trial are then used as one of the pieces of information to decide rationally when and on whom to reduce intraocular pressure medically.
