About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma focused on measuring glaucoma, ocular hypertension, adjunctive treatment, prostaglandin, prostaglandin analog, brimonidine, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, alpha agonist, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, intraocular pressure

Eligibility Criteria

41 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
  • Must be over 40 years of age.
  • Intraocular pressure must be 18 mm Hg or higher after 6 weeks of treatment (run-in) with a prostaglandin analog (bimatoprost, latanoprost, or travoprost).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of angle closure or narrow angle.
  • Previous intraocular surgery.
  • Laser trabeculoplasty within 3 months prior to screening.
  • History of uveitis or intraocular inflammation.
  • Use of medications other than the study medications that are known to affect IOP (e.g., beta-blockers, steroids, or angiotensin II blockers) within 3 months of study entry or during the study.
  • Intolerance of or hypersensitivity to prostaglandin analogs, sulfonamides, alpha-agonists, or the preservative benzalkonium chloride.
  • Women of childbearing age who are pregnant or not using contraception.
