Gender  Both 
Details  Subjects meeting all of the following criteria will be recruited for the trial
1.Male and Female subjects between 18 – 65 years of age (both inclusive).
2.Newly diagnosed patients of primary open angle glaucoma / ocular hypertension in at least one eye confirmed by Goldmann applanation tonometry.
3.Subjects with IOP between 22 mmHg – 27 mmHg at the time of screening in any one eye. In case both the eyes of a single subject are affected then the eye fulfilling the criteria will be considered for the evaluations. If both eyes are fulfilling the criteria, then the right eye will be considered for the study.
