New glaucoma medications?

Question:

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

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. -Gudrun

Lumigan was the most recently released drop.  Nothing new has come out since. –Rick Cohn, MD
