Inclusion Criteria:

  • For Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) subjects, a clinical diagnosis of primary OAG, including normal tension glaucoma (NTG) all known untreated IOP measurements < 22 mmHg using Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) for NTG no IOP-lowering treatment; otherwise, a 4-week wash-out period prior to the recording
  • For healthy subjects, no structural defects, normal visual fields, IOP ≤ 21 mmHg and open angles on gonioscopy

  • Central Corneal Thickness between 500 microns and 600 microns
  • Difference in IOP absolute value between eyes within 2.5 mmHg at screening in sitting position
  • Same direction of IOP variation (positive or negative) for the 2 eyes when moving from sitting to supine positions at screening
  • Spherical refraction within ±6.00 diopters and cylinder refraction within ±3.00 diopters
  • Having given written informed consent, prior to any investigational procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Ocular pathology (other than glaucoma for glaucoma subjects)
  • Previous glaucoma, cataract or refractive surgery
  • Corneal or conjunctival abnormality, precluding contact lens adaptation
  • Severe dry eye syndrome
  • Subjects with allergy to corneal anesthetic
  • Subjects with contraindications for silicone CL wear

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Investigational device (Goldfish)

Tonometry

Arm Description

IOP will be monitored for 24 h in the Goldfish eye

IOP will be acquired by standard tonometry at specific times in the the fellow eye

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Changes in IOP assessed by Goldfish following known physiological and induced changes in IOP
IOP will be measured using tonometry in the fellow eye and compared to IOP measured in the Goldfish eye with the Goldfish device

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of subjects completing 24-hour session with Goldfish
Percentage of subject completing the session will be calculated at the end of the study
Wearing discomfort of Goldfish based on visual analogue scale
Tolerability of the Goldfish lens will be subjectively evaluated before and after GF wear using a visual analogue scale from 0 (no discomfort) to 100 (severe discomfort) mm
Evaluation of Goldfish technical performance based on the percentage of valid Goldfish measurements
Percentage of valid measurement will be calculated at the end of each monitoring session
Correlation between IOP and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) assessed by Goldfish in the Goldfish eye and IOP and OPA measured by tonometry in the fellow eye
OPA will be extracted from the Goldfish signal in the Goldfish eye and measured by tonometry in the fellow eye. Both IOP and OPA measurement will be compared between fellow eyes
Relationship between Goldfish IOP and blood pressure (BP) measurements over 24 hours
IOP signal acquired with Goldfish will be compared to BP signal assessed with a BP holter

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Glaucoma is characterized by irreversible vision loss through the progressive death of optic nerve fibers unless timely diagnosis and adequate treatment are provided. Medical therapy is aimed at lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) below a clinically determined target level in order to prevent or slow glaucoma progression. IOP is known to vary with the time of day as well as with daily activities. The current way of assessing nycthemeral IOP fluctuation is to perform repeated discrete tonometry measurements, allowing only snapshot and non-continuous measurements once per hour in the best cases. The procedure is cumbersome, expensive, inconvenient (disturbed sleep cycle as patient is awoken for nocturnal/sleep period measurements) and may not detect crucial IOP values in time. Sensimed AG has developed a new contact lens (CL)-based device intended to continuously measure IOP over 24 hours. The objective of this study is to investigate the use of device for 24-hour IOP monitoring in healthy subjects and glaucoma patients.
