Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare goblet cell density when treating with a differently preserved travoprost eye drops in each eye;Secondary Objective: To compare eye pressure, ocular surface, tear film and symptoms of dry eyes when treating with a differently preserved travoprost eye drops in each eye;Primary end point(s): Goblet cell density E.5.1.1;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Intraocular pressure lowering effect Corneal and conjunctival surface Mucin in tear film Symptoms of dry eyes;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks
