Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Intraocular pressure [Baseline and 6 months after regular use of the topical eyedrops]
Changes in intraocular pressure measured in mmHg by applanation tonometry
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pupillary diameter [Baseline and 6 months after regular use of the topical eyedrops]
Changes in the pupillary diameter measured in mm by handheld pupillometer
