Brief Summary:

This clinical trial is designed to investigate the performance of SENSIMED Triggerfish® during 24-hour continuous IOP fluctuation monitoring, defined as the number of valid recording intervals over the 24-hour period.

The investigation will recruit male and female patients older than 18 years and diagnosed with glaucoma and treated with tafluprost in both eyes. 20 subjects will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be considered enrolled in the study upon signature of informed consent. A screening visit and one 24-hour IOP fluctuation monitoring session during a 36-hour hospitalisation, are planned for each patient.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Acquisition of 24-hour Sensor output signal [ Time Frame: After 24-hour continuous recording ]
    Performance is assessed as the portion of valid data (actual number of valid data points recorded compared to expected number of recorded data points) during 24-hour recording.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Possible IOP fluctuation [ Time Frame: After 24-hour recording with study device ]
    Fluctuation is defined as a change of 25% or more from the mean Sensor output over 24 hours for each participant.
