MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in the Study EyeBaseline, Month 3IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. A negative number change from baseline indicates a reduction in IOP (improvement), and a positive number change from baseline indicates an increase (worsening).

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

IOP is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. A negative number change from baseline indicates a reduction in IOP (improvement), and a positive number change from baseline indicates an increase (worsening).

Time frame: Baseline, Month 3

Population: Intent-to-Treat: patients with baseline data and data at the indicated time point
