Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Conditions
Brief summary
A study in which intraocular pressure (IOP) will be monitored over 24 hours using the SENSIMED Triggerfish® device and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in primary open angle glaucoma patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the comparability of diurnal IOP patterns emerging from SENSIMED Triggerfish and GAT.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SENSIMED Triggerfish output values | During 24 hours | Patients will undergo one session of 24-hour SENSIMED Triggerfish continuous intraocular pressure monitoring in one eye. |
| Goldmann applanation tonometry values | During 24 hours | Goldmann applanation IOP readings will be done in the other eye at regular intervals during 24-hour SENSIMED Triggerfish IOP monitoring and in both eyes during another 24-hour session. |
