          3. Adequate wash-out period prior to baseline of any ocular hypotensive medication.

          4. Baseline (Day 0/hour 0) pressure ≥ 22 mm Hg and ≤ 34 mm Hg in each eye and any
             asymmetry of pressure between the eyes no greater than 5 mm Hg.

          5. Baseline best corrected visual acuity equivalent to 20/200 or better in each eye

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Females who are pregnant, breast feeding, or planning a pregnancy.

          2. Females of childbearing potential who do not agree to utilize an adequate form of

          4. Current, or history within two months prior to baseline of, significant ocular
             disease, e.g., corneal edema, uveitis, ocular infection, or ocular trauma in either
             eye

          5. Current corneal abnormalities that would prevent accurate readings with the Goldmann
             applanation tonometer

          6. Functionally significant visual field loss

          7. Contraindication to brinzolamide or sulfonamide therapy or known hypersensitivity to
             any component of brinzolamide or sulfonamide therapy

          8. Use at any time prior to baseline of an intraocular corticosteroid implant

          9. Use within one week prior to baseline of contact lens

         10. Use within two weeks prior to baseline of: 1) topical ophthalmic corticosteroid, or 2)
             topical corticosteroid

         11. Use within one month prior to baseline of: 1) systemic corticosteroid or 2) high-dose
             salicylate therapy

         12. Use within six months prior to baseline of intravitreal or subtenon injection of
             ophthalmic corticosteroid

         13. Having undergone within six months prior to baseline any other intraocular surgery
             (e.g., cataract surgery)

         14. Having undergone within twelve months prior to baseline refractive surgery, filtering
             surgery, or laser surgery for pressure reduction
