Description
The main objective for the project (01 August to 31 August 2007) was to assess the research impact of a large randomized clinical trial, The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS). OHTS started in 1994 to study the efficiency of early treatment of Intraocular Hypertension (IOP) as a means of preventing glaucoma. Three measurement criteria were identified: intellectual impact, knowledge transfer, and clinical impact.
