Prostaglandin analogues are a class of antihypertensive drugs for glaucoma treatment which are systematically safe but have a sufficiently large number of local side effects. These effects may worsen the quality of life of patients with glaucoma and reducetheir adherence to treatment routines due to physical and psychological discomfort. The review presents literature data and clinical cases fromthe author’s own medical practice.
