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-dose combination of tafluprost and timolol (FDC) to concomitant administration of tafluprost and timolol.

This study will enroll patients who have ocular hypertension or glaucoma.

The study schedule includes seven visits to the study site and three stages:

* washout of 5 days to 4 weeks depending on current glaucoma medication (if any)
* 6-month study treatment period
* 1-3 weeks post-study period
