Subject with an active lid disease in either eye (i.e., moderate or severe blepharitis, meibomianitis) that requires medical treatment
Subject with a history of chronic/recurrent inflammatory eye disease (i.e., scleritis, uveitis, herpes keratitis) in either eye
Subject who would require the use of any ocular topical medication(s), an over-the counter drop(s), ointment(s) or gel(s), other than the study ocular hypotensive medication(s) in either eye during the study period

Subject currently on any systemic medication [i.e., beta-blocker, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, corticosteroids (including dermal), etc.], that may have an effect on the subject's IOP, or who will require its use during the study period (Note: an inhaled steroid, systemic beta-blocker or β-adrenoceptor antagonist may be permitted, providing the subject has maintained a stable dosage regimen for at least the last three months)
Subject contraindicated to therapy with a beta-blocker (i.e., history or presence of bradycardia, untreated congestive heart failure, untreated second- or third-degree heart block, sino-atrial block, myasthenia gravis, cardiogenic shock, history or presence of bronchial asthma, bronchial hyperreactivity, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or history of bronchospasm)
Subject with an uncontrolled systemic disease or a medical condition that may increase the risk associated with study participation or administration of study treatment or that may interfere with the interpretation of study results (e.g., autoimmune disease if the subject is on chronic medications and has ocular involvement; host-versus-graft disease)
Subject currently participating or has participated within the last 30 days prior to the start of this study in a drug, device or other investigational research study
