Glaucoma is a complex and chronic eye disease which damages the optic nerve. One of the main risk factors for the progression of glaucoma is IOP. The aim of the study is to examine if Salovum, an anti-secretory factor (AF), can reduce the level of the intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye of patients affected by glaucoma. Anti-secretory factor (AF) is an endogenous protein which controls the transport of water and ions across the cell membrane. AF plays an important part in the immune system and has an anti-secretory and anti-inflammatory effect. The investigators\' hypothesis is that Salovum can restore a normal salt-water balance in the eye, which in turn would lower the IOP. This would eliminate or reduce the risk of subsequent visual impairments/neurological damage.
