OBJECTIVES: The use of benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-preserved medications is associated with ocular surface disease (OSD) that can negatively affect quality of life (QoL) in glaucoma patients. This study aimed to compare QoL and correlate it with OSD in glaucoma patients receiving BAC-preserved and BAC-free travoprost.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 110 subjects were divided into 3 groups: 40 primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients using BAC-preserved travoprost, 40 POAG patients using BAC-free travoprost, and 30 age-matched controls. All patients were assessed using a single interviewer-administered format of the Ocular Surface Disease index (OSDI) and Glaucoma Quality of Life-15 (GQL-15) questionnaires.
RESULTS: Mean GQL-15 score in the BAC group was significantly higher than in the BAC-free group (24.71±7.42 vs. 17.58±3.06; p<0.05). The mean difference in GQL-15 scores between controls and the BAC-free group (1.24) was insignificant (p>0.05). There was a strong positive correlation between OSDI scores and GQL-15 scores in all the groups (r values: BAC: 0.63, BAC-free: 0.23, controls: 0.29), with higher OSDI scores (severe OSD) associated with higher GQL-15 scores (worse QoL). Cronbach's alpha was 0.84 for GQL-15 and 0.75 for OSDI.
CONCLUSION: BAC-preserved travoprost leads to higher OSDI scores, which correlate strongly with poor QoL scores as compared to BAC-free travoprost. The use of BAC-free formulations should be encouraged to reduce the onset or worsening of OSD and impaired QoL in glaucoma patients.
