Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effects of Xalatan, Travatan and Lumigan on Skin Pigmentation Near the Eye (NCT NCT00705757)

NCT ID: NCT00705757

Last Updated: 2016-01-18

Results Overview

Periocular skin color was measured with the Minolta Chroma Meter CR-400 and the L\*a\*b\* system, also known as Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage. This is a well-accepted unit of measurement in which L\* corresponds to brightness and a\* and b\* correspond to chromaticity. Measurements were taken at baseline and 1 year. Data from each time point and each location (upper and lower eyelids or cheeks/face) were averaged, and subtracted from the baseline value for that location. Six predetermined areas on and around the upper and lower eyelid and 2 areas of the face/cheek were measured.Upper and lower eyelid values were averaged and reported as single value for each location ie;-upper eyelids, lower eyelid and cheek/face. A decrease in luminance indicates increased pigmentation at the site of measurement.
