Glaucoma Open-angle

Brief summary

This is a randomized trial comparing two elution doses of the Travoprost Intraocular implant to timolol ophthalmic solution.

Detailed description

This is a randomized trial comparing two elution doses of the Travoprost Intraocular implant to timolol ophthalmic solution in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Study assessments will include IOP and medication use as well as safety parameters.

Interventions

DRUGTravoprost Intraocular Implant, high elution

Surgical implant placed within the eye to elute travoprost.

DRUGTravoprost Intraocular Implant, low elution

Surgical implant placed within the eye to elute travoprost

Instillation of one drop of timolol in the study eye twice daily
