Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The change value of Intra-Ocular Pressure (IOP) in study group [ Time Frame: assessment will be done every month for 2 months for each subject ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The change value of IOP between groups [ Time Frame: assessment will be done every month for 2 months for each subject ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
