The principles of personalized approach to early diagnosis and monitoring of primary glaucoma are shown by a clinical example. We analyzed the potentials of contemporary electrophysiological tests for preclinically diagnosing glaucoma optic neuropathy and monitoring drug treatment. For the first time, we demonstrated the experience of using a new fixed combination of brinzolamide + brimonidine by a clinical case from our practice. The test results confirm the hypotensive effect of the medication (IOP reduction by 36.2 %) so that it can be recommended for the treatment of patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy and that combined with vascular pathology.
