Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• IOP ≤ 18 mmHg in both eyes

• History of IOP insufficiently controlled with first-line monotherapy based on the investigator judgement (e.g. non reaching the target IOP)

• History of an add-on IOP reduction with Xalacom® or generics (fixed combination Latanoprost 0.005% + Timolol 0.5% preserved eye drops) in comparison with first-line treatment

• Corneal thickness ≥ 500 μm and ≤ 600 μm in both eyes.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Ophthalmic exclusion criteria (in either eye)

• Fundoscopy, VF not performed or not available within the 6 months before inclusion visit.
