*P value found <0.05. Unpaired t-test results are presented as mean±SD and Mann-Whitney U test results are presented as median (Q1-Q3). Δt represents gain score i.e., the change in the value in comparison to the baseline value at Day1. SD=Standard deviation, IOP=Intraocular pressure, IOP-r=IOP of right, IOP-l=IOP of left, GQL-15=Glaucoma quality of life-15, HR=Heart rate, BP=Blood pressure, SBP=Systolic BP, DBP=Diastolic BP, BMI=Body mass index, FBG=Fasting plasma glucose, Q1=First quartile, Q3=Third quartile
