The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between Intraocular Pressure
(IOP) fluctuations of glaucoma patients as recorded with an IOP-sensing contact lens
(SENSIMED Triggerfish®), during two 24-hour periods after selective laser trabeculoplasty
(SLT) for routine treatment of glaucoma.
