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 compare the efficacy and safety of the preservative-free fixed tafluprost-timolol combination to those of tafluprost and timolol alone. This study will enroll patients who have ocular hypertension or glaucoma and who are using timolol or prostaglandin.

The study medication period is 6 months, but the primary evaluation of efficacy is done at 3 months.
