Summary

This trial will test whether an eyedrop bottle adaptor that creates smaller droplets is safe and effective for people with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with well-controlled open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, meaning their eye pressure has been stable and not too high. They should be using 1-2 compatible eyedrop medications and have a corneal thickness less than 600 µm. People with uncontrolled glaucoma, on more than two medications, or recent eye surgery can't participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the Nanodropper adaptor against standard eyedroppers in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The goal is to see if the Nanodropper, which makes smaller drops, is safe, effective, and user-friendly compared to regular droppers.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an adaptor for administering existing medication rather than a new drug itself, side effects may be limited to local discomfort or potential issues related to improper dosing if the device doesn't perform as expected.
