Acronym
KOEG
Study hypothesis
The hypotensive effect of 0.5% timolol-2% dorzolamide-0.2% brimonidine fixed combination is different from that of Cosopt® in patients with diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and/or ocular hypertension with or without pseudoexfoliation.

Intervention
According to a random chart, 50 patients will receive over each eye one drop of a topical ophthalmic solution composed of timolol 0.5%, dorzolamide 2% and brimonidine 0.2% in a fixed-combination formula developed by Laboratorios Sophia S.A. de C.V. every 12 hours. The other 50 patients will be administered one drop of Cosopt® over each eye every 12 hours. Both medications will be administered during a period of 90 days. All the study articles will be labeled with a non-consecutive code number that is randomly generated by a computer.
