Summary

This clinical trial is designed to investigate the efficacy profile of the SENSIMED Triggerfish® during 24-hour IOP monitoring in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, done three times at monthly intervals under different therapeutic regimen. This trial will also evaluate the efficacy of SENSIMED Triggerfish® to detect changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after the water drinking test (WDT) will be investigated.

  • Subject has consented to be in the trial
  • Visual acuity of 20/80 or better
  • Ability to understand the character and individual consequences of the study
  • For women of childbearing potential, adequate contraception
  • Stable anti-hypertensive treatment regimen 4 weeks prior to the screening visit and throughout the study.

Exclusion criteria

  • Subjects with chronic kidney failure and chronic hear disease
  • Subjects with contraindications for wearing contact lenses
  • Severe dry eye syndrome
  • Keratoconus or other corneal abnormality
  • Conjunctival or intraocular inflammation
  • Eye surgery prior to and throughout the study, except prior uncomplicated cataract surgery and laser a minimum of 3 months prior to the screening visit.
  • Full frame metal glasses during SENSIMED Triggerfish® monitoring
  • Known hypersensitivity to silicone, plaster or ocular anesthesia (proparacaine)
