open(masking not used)

uncontrolled control

single assignment

treatment purpose

Patients with open-angle glaucoma (broad definition) who are using ripasudil ophthalmic solution for glaucoma eye drop treatment and need intensified treatment

Selection Criteria
1. Patients 18 years of age or older with open-angle glaucoma (broad definition) who require additional glaucoma treatment due to inadequate IOP reduction with prior glaucoma eye drops.
2. Patients who have received ripasudil ophthalmic solution as prior glaucoma eye drops for at least 8 weeks on the date of initial hyperemia assessment (Visit 2)
3. Patients who have given written consent to participate in the study

1. Patients who have received ophthalmic solutions containing brimonidine tartrate within 4 weeks of the first hyperemia evaluation date (Visit 2)
2. Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to ripasudil hydrochloride hydrate, brimonidine tartrate, anhydrous sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, glycerin, sodium hydroxide, or concentrated benzalkonium chloride solution 50
3. Pregnant, parturient, or lactating women
4. Patients with secondary glaucoma (excluding exfoliation glaucoma) and patients with angle closure glaucoma
5. Patients who have difficulty measuring intraocular pressure with iCare
6. Patients with concomitant ocular trauma
7. Patients with anterior segment inflammatory disease with hyperemia
8. Patients who are unable to have anterior segment photographs taken.
9. Patients with a history of intraocular surgery within 6 months of the first hyperemia evaluation (Visit 2)
10. Contact lens wearers
11.Patients who are deemed to be inappropriate for this study by the investigator .

18age old over
No limit

Both

open-angle glaucoma

Obtain written consent from potential subjects (Visit 1). Patients who are confirmed eligible will receive one drop of ripasudil ophthalmic solution once, and anterior segment photography will be performed at 0, 15, 60, and 120 minutes after the ophthalmic drops (Visit 2).
Eight weeks after switching to ripasudil/brimonidine ophthalmic solution, patients receive 1 drop of ripasudil/brimonidine ophthalmic solution once, and anterior segment photographs are taken at 0, 15, 60 and 120 minutes after the ophthalmic drops (Visit 3). Pixel coverage of conjunctival vessels will be calculated using image analysis software.
Secondary questionnaires on hyperemia (evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale: VAS), comfort of use (evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale: NRS), and intraocular pressure measurement using an iCare hand-held tonometer will be conducted.
