Arch Ophthalmol 2003, 121:453-457. This study found that latanoprost and a fixed combination of timolol and dorzolamide achieved similar circadian reductions in IOP, whereas brimonidine was less effective.

The authors found that IOP at night measured with patients in a supine position with pneumotonometry was higher than that with seated IOP measured with applanation tonometry during the day, but no nocturnal IOP spikes were detected.
