Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and usability of an eyedrop bottle adaptor that creates smaller eyedrops, Nanodropper, in an open-angle glaucoma/ocular hypertension patient population.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * ≥18 years old
  • * Primary open-angle glaucoma (OAG) diagnosis
  • * Ocular hypertension (OHT) diagnosis
  • * Corneal thickness \<600 µm
  • * Use 1-2 IOP-lowering eyedrop medications that are compatible with Nanodropper
  • * OAG/OHT must be well-controlled (defined as ≥2 IOP measurements collected within 6 months of recruitment that are ≤21 mm Hg with variability of ±3 mm Hg)
  • * OAG/OHT must be progression-free (as judged by the clinician and based on ≥2 stable OCT and visual field tests collected in the 6 months prior to recruitment)
  • * Uncontrolled glaucoma (IOP \>21 mmHg)
  • * Use of \>2 medications for treatment of OAG/OHT
  • * Use of eyedrop medications that are incompatible with Nanodropper
  • * OAG/OHT progression (as judged by the clinician within the past 6 months)
  • * Eye surgery including laser procedures (e.g., SLT, iridotomy) within 6 months of recruitment
  • * Diagnosis of acute angle-closure glaucoma and/or other retinal diseases
