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 Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and topical medications for initial treatment of open-angle glaucoma /Ocular Hypertension based on intraocular pressure reduction, treatment side effects, quality of life measures and costs in South Indian Population.

Detailed Description

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

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), a lasering procedure, is equal to or better than using medication for lowering eye pressure,leading to a better quality of life and being less costly.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Diagnosis: POAG, PXF glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma or mixed mechanism POAG with a narrow angle, (if laser PI \> 3 months ago) defined by standard examination criteria Adequate visualization of angle structures (i.e. clear media and cooperative patient) On no glaucoma medications OU \> 1 month On no systemic medications known to IOP (steroids) Visual acuity \> 6/24 OU Age - more than 35 yrs and less than 72 yrs

Exclusion Criteria

A cumulative lifetime use of eye drops for glaucoma that exceeded 14 days; Used any eye drops for glaucoma in the 3 weeks before baseline I visit (washout from \< 14 days of use will be permitted); CIGTS visual field score that exceeds 16 in either eye; Evidence of ocular disease other than glaucoma that might affect the measurements of IOP, assessment of visual function, visual field testing Proliferative diabetic retinopathy Previous intraocular surgery one or both eyes except laser PI more than 3 months ago and cataract extraction with PC IOL more than 4 months ago.

Undergone ophthalmic laser (other than laser PI \> 3 months ago), refractive, conjunctival, or intraocular surgery in either eye; Would likely require cataract surgery within 6 months of randomization Current or expected use of corticosteroids
