The objective of this study is to investigate whether the IOP (intraocular pressure) -lowering effect of DE-111A (preservative-free fixed dose combination of 0.0015% tafluprost and 0.5% timolol eye drops, administered one drop a time, once daily for 3 months) is superior to the monotherapy of tafluprost 0.0015% eye drops administered one drop a time, once daily for 3 months) in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in China as well as comparison of safety.

Inclusion Criteria:
