Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years and Older
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • 18 years of age or greater.

  • Diagnosis of open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT)

  • Corrected visual acuity in each eye equivalent to 20/200 or better

  • Able and willing to give signed informed consent and follow study instructions.

Exclusion Criteria:
Ophthalmic:
  • Glaucoma: pseudoexfoliation or pigment dispersion component, history of angle closure, or narrow angles.

  • Intraocular pressure >36 mmHg

  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation, latanoprost, or to topical anesthetics.

  • Previous glaucoma intraocular surgery or glaucoma laser procedures in study eye(s)

  • Refractive surgery in study eye(s)

  • Ocular trauma within the six months prior to screening, or ocular surgery or laser treatment within the three months prior to screening.

  • Evidence of ocular infection and inflammation

  • Clinically significant ocular disease, which might interfere with the study, including glaucomatous damage so severe that washout of ocular hypotensive medications for one month is not judged safe

  • Central corneal thickness greater then 600 μm

  • Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry of either eye

Systemic:
  • Clinically significant abnormalities (as determined by the investigator) in laboratory tests at screening.

  • Clinically significant systemic disease

  • Participation in any investigational study within 30 days prior to screening

  • Changes in systemic medication

  • Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant, nursing, planning a pregnancy, or not using a medically acceptable form of birth control.
