17Key Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

i Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: A. Definite glaucomatous VF (at least three contiguous points in one hemi-field abnormal below the 1% level, two of which are observed on three successive VF tests) and disc damage (CDR >= 0.7 and/or a rim width of <= 0.1 in at least one quadrant, as graded by a glaucoma specialist) in at least one eye. B. For NTG: Average of two highest readings on 12-hour IOP testing off of any ocular hypertensive treatment are <= 18 mmHg C. For pressure-dependent glaucoma: Documented IOP >= 22 mmHg on at least two occasions

ii Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria: a. Any history of dementia or other cognitive abnormality, or evidence on examination or history of non-ocular causes for VF loss. b. Any evidence of disc pallor, retinal abnormality or other finding on ocular examination to suggest an ocular cause other than glaucoma for the VF loss or disc abnormality. c.
