Completed

Conditions: Low Tension Glaucoma

Registration Number: NCT01209624

Lead Sponsor: Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc.

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of latanoprost monotherapy in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) using a prospective, observational design.

Primary Outcome Measures

Only the IOP reading for the eye treated with Xalatan® was used; if both eyes were treated, the value of the right eye was analyzed. Last visit = last post-baseline visit at which participant provides a value of IOP.

Number of Participants With Change From Baseline to Month 24 in Aulhorn Stages	Baseline, Month 24	Values of change in Aulhorn Stage measured by Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer. Aulhorn stages: no scotoma, Stage I (relative scotomas only), Stage II (absolute scotomas without connection to blind spot), Stage III (absolute scotomas with connection to blind spot), Stage IV (absolute scotomas more than 1 quadrant affected), and Stage V (temporal residual visual field only). If both eyes were treated with Xalantan® the value of right eye was analyzed; otherwise, only the assessment for the eye treated with study medication was used.
