The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new method to deliver an approved medicine called Timolol in the eye of participants with glaucoma or ocular hypertension and requiring cataract surgery. The study is conducted in two stages. The first stage (Stage 1/Phase 1) is intended to study the safety of 3 different doses of the study medication (called TimoD implant). The second stage (Stage 2/Phase 2) of the study is intended to study in greater detail the efficacy and safety of the 3 doses of the TimoD implant in comparison to a standard approved medication, timolol eye drops for 3 years.
Timolol will be administered using an investigational drug product called the TimoD implant. The implant will be placed in one eye (the study eye) using an instrument called an injector system (an investigational device). The implant procedure will be performed during cataract surgery. Stage 1: Three dose levels of the TimoD implant (low, intermediate, and high) will be evaluated in three groups of six participants each. Participants will be assigned sequentially to a treatment group and will receive a single implant containing one of the three dose levels. Participants in Stage 1 will be followed for 1 year. Stage 2: The same three dose levels of the TimoD implant will be evaluated further. In addition, a fourth treatment group receiving an approved control treatment (timolol eye drops) will be included. Six participants will be randomized to each treatment group. Participants in Stage 2 will be followed for 3 years.

Consists of 1 TimoD implant administration in the study eye.
This is a CE-marked injector intended for intraocular lens (IOL) delivery. In this study, the injector is used as an"intraocular implant injection system" outside of its scope of intended use.
Timolol eye drops will be self-admnistered twice daily in the study eye approximately 12 hours apart throughout the study
