Mean IOP at the medicated screening visit, and at study baseline, month 12, and month 24. Study baseline and months 12 and 24 IOP were diurnal IOP and followed a washout of any ocular hypotensive medications. Error bars are ±1 SD. **Statistically significant, P < .001 vs study baseline, 2-sided, 2-sample t test.
