Conditions

Glaucoma, Open-Angle, Ocular Hypertension

Brief summary

This study is a prospective, observational study of changing from any IOP-lowering treatment to a prostaglandin analogue-containing IOP-lowering medication for patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) or Ocular Hypertension (OHT). The decision to change medications lies with the physician according to their standard practice.

Interventions

Patients with POAG or OHT on current IOP-lowering therapy who are prescribed a prostaglandin analogue -containing IOP-lowering therapy by the physician. The decision to prescribe a change in IOP-lowering therapy lies with the physician according to their standard practice.

Change From Baseline in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in the Left Eye

IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. A negative change from Baseline indicates an improvement.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

Population: All participant with IOP data at Baseline and Week 12 for analysis.
