Biomarkers of Ocular Surface Damage in the Setting of Topical Ocular Hypotensive Medication Use

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether reduction in topical medication with the injection of a sustained release capsule (Durysta) leads to a reduction in ocular surface inflammation, indicated by levels of caspase-1, an inflammatory biomarker.
