Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a commonly prescribed orally inhaled
corticosteroid treatment will induce a clinically meaningful elevation in intraocular
pressure, when administered to patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) or open-angle glaucoma
(OAG). Based on the response to high-dose corticosteroids, this patient group is more likely
than the normal population to demonstrate this adverse effect.
