The study eye must demonstrate perimetric progression of at least 1.5 dB per year to qualify. Standard pressure-lowering treatment does not prevent visual field loss in all patients.

The TES-GPS study enrolls patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, pigment dispersion glaucoma, or normal-tension glaucoma.
