Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to study changes in skin color that may be caused by using one of the three eye medicines: Xalatan, Travatan or Lumigan.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One uncommon side effect of prostaglandin eye drops is a change in color of the skin around the eyes, which is reversible. There are three different brands of the medicine which are equally effective in lowering eye pressure but their likelihood of changing skin color is unknown. Qualifying patients will be randomly assigned to use one of the three eye drops. We will take skin color measurements from several locations on the face over one year to measure pigmentation changes.
