Multi-Center Study Comparing Efficacy and Tolerability of TRAVATAN® BAK-free (0.004% Travoprost) in Patients Previously on Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution 0.005% Monotherapy
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of TRAVATAN® solution without BAK (benzalkonium chloride) after changing from prior latanoprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution monotherapy in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension due to tolerability issues.

Conditions
- Open-angle Glaucoma
- Ocular Hypertension
Interventions
- Travoprost 0.004% BAK-free
Primary outcomes
- Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at 12 Weeks From Prior Therapy (Baseline) — Baseline, Week 12
IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. A higher IOP can be a greater risk for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage). A more negative change indicates a greater amount of improvement. One eye was chosen as the study eye, and only data from the study eye were used for the efficacy analysis.
