Brief summary

This clinical trial is designed to investigate the efficacy profile of the SENSIMED Triggerfish® during 24-hour IOP monitoring in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, done three times at monthly intervals under different therapeutic regimen. This trial will also evaluate the efficacy of SENSIMED Triggerfish® to detect changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after the water drinking test (WDT) will be investigated.

Detailed description

The investigation will recruit male and female patients 18-80 years old and diagnosed with glaucoma or ocular hypertension requiring hypotensive ocular treatment. Up to 100 subjects will be enrolled in the study to ensure a minimum of 80 completing three IOP fluctuation monitoring sessions. Patients will be considered enrolled in the study upon signature of informed consent. A screening visit and three 26-hour IOP fluctuation monitoring sessions are planned for each patient. IOP monitoring sessions will be carried out in ambulatory mode at 4 week intervals (plus/minus 7 days). All subjects will be monitored during the same period of the day (± 1hr). The expected duration of participation for each patient is of 3.5 days over three to four months. Patients will be recruited over a 16-month period. The total expected study duration is 16 months.

Inclusion criteria

* Subject is able to comply with the study procedures * 18-80 years old * Subjects diagnosed with glaucoma, based on presence of repeatable visual field loss and/or glaucomatous optic neuropathy based on masked review of optic disc stereophotographs and under ocular hypotensive treatment, or diagnosed with ocular hypertension, with an IOP of \> 22 mmHg at the screening visit and under ocular hypotensive treatment. * Subject has consented to be in the trial * Visual acuity of 20/80 or better * Ability to understand the character and individual consequences of the study * For women of childbearing potential, adequate contraception * Stable anti-hypertensive treatment regimen 4 weeks prior to the screening visit and throughout the study.

Exclusion criteria
