|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to compare the area under the distribution of the IOP daily curve (measured at 8.00, 11.00, 14.00, 17.00, 20.00 o?clock) after 3 months of treatment with Ganfort and with Duotrav.;Secondary Objective: Daily IOP changes after 3 month of treatment IOP changes from baseline after 1 month of treatment IOP changes after switching from the first to the second treatment Response to treatment in POAG and PXF subgroups. Reaching of specific target IOP thresholds. Safety;Primary end point(s): to compare the area under the distribution of the IOP daily curve (measured at 8.00, 11.00, 14.00, 17.00, 20.00 o?clock) after 3 months of treatment | — |
