Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess the additional benefit of common adjunctive classes on the diurnal IOP curve in patients assessed as needing additional treatment to reach target intraocular pressure (IOP). To demonstrate superiority of IOP control with Istalol 0.5% QD compared to Brimonidine Tartrate 0.2% BID as adjunctive therapy in adults with uncontrolled IOP's (determined by P.I. based on target pressures) currently treated with Latanoprost 0.05% in the study eye(s).

4. Pachymetry of 600 microns or less
5. Visual Field within 6 months of screening visit
6. Patients who use contact lenses are allowed to participate provided that they will remove lenses 15 minutes before dosing
7. Patients who satisfy all informed consent requirements may be included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Females of childbearing potential (those who are not surgically sterile, postmenopausal or using a reliable birth control method) will be excluded from the study.
2. Any allergic component or contraindication to the study medications
3. Pachymetry of 600 microns or greater
