I wonder what the newest glaucoma medications might be. I am familiar
with Alphagan, AlphaganP, Xalatan, Travatan, Lumigan, Cosopt and the
older
Timoptic, Pilocarpine, but wonder if there are any more recent ones
that have been helpful with POAG.

Thanks

Lumigan was the most recently released drop. Nothing new has come out
since.

Istalol is fairly new (2004) but as far as I can tell the only
advantage over other brands of timolol is that it is once a day dosing.
I think the side effects would be the same.
