About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Open Angle Glaucoma focused on measuring Central corneal thickness, 24hour fluctuation of intraocular pressure, Open angle glaucoma, Ocular hypertension

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Males and females >50 years old with:

  • Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma newly diagnosed or with anti-glaucoma medical treatment < =12 weeks
  • Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma newly diagnosed or with anti-glaucoma medical treatment <= 12 weeks
  • Ocular Hypertensives newly diagnosed or with anti-glaucoma medical treatment <= 12 weeks
  • Age-matched controls

Exclusion Criteria:

For Eye

  • Use of any ophthalmic medication (drops) during the study (except for natural tears)

  • Mean IOP>36mmHg in either eye at the eligibility visit.
  • Subjects who cannot safety discontinue use of all IOP-lowering medication(s) for washout
  • Subjects with severe central visual field loss in either eye. Severe central visual field loss is defined as sensitivity <=10dB in at least 2 of the 4 visual field test points closest to the point of fixation

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Other

Arm Label

Ocular hypertensives

Arm Description

This study includes two groups. Subjects with ocular hypertension and Controls. Group 2 undergoes only 1 visit (visit 1) without any intervention. Group 1 undergoes visit 1 without intervention. Then they receive treatment (1 eyedrop of latanoprost (0.005%) dosed once a day in both eyes at 8:00pm for a 4-weeks period for 1 month) and undergo the visit 2 under the effect of treatment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Correlation analyses between mean central corneal thickness (CCT) and 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuation and between mean CCT and mean IOP reduction from baseline after a 4-weeks period of treatment with latanoprost.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Correlation analyses between corneal hysteresis (CH) and 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuation and between CH and mean IOP reduction from baseline after a 4-weeks period of treatment with latanoprost.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 24-hour fluctuation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is associated with central corneal thickness (CCT) in subjects with ocular hypertension or open angle glaucoma and in age-matched controls. Also to evaluate whether mean IOP reduction as a response to latanoprost (0.005% Xalatan) is associated with CCT, after a 4-weeks period of treatment. Also, to evaluate whether 24-hour fluctuation of IOP is associated with corneal hysteresis (CH) measured by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA).
