Brief Summary

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

Purpose To evaluate efficacy and safety of combigan(Brimonidine/Timolol) and 0.5% Timoptic (Timolol) ophthalmic solutions in normal tension glaucoma patients.

Detailed Description

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

* Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is the major type of glaucoma in Korea. (over 90% of glaucoma type)
* Brimonidine (selective alpha 2 adrenergic agonist): neuroprotection effect by suppression of aqueous humor production and increasement of uveoscleral outflow
* Timolol (non selective beta blocker): suppression effect of aqueous humor production
* Combigan (fixed combination of brimonidine \& timolol): more lowering effect of intraocular pressure and enhancing the compliance of glaucoma patients
