Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Acute Stimulated Tear Production

    Stimulated acute tear production in the study eye at Day 0 as measured by the difference between the Schirmer test score during stimulation and the test score before stimulation (basal). The Schirmer strip is placed just under the eyelid and wicks up the tears. It measures tear production on a linear scale of 0-35 mm. The study eye was defined as the eye with the greatest increase in tear production with stimulation by the cotton swab at Visit 1/Screening or, if there was no difference in stimulated tear production, the eye with the lower basal Schirmer score at Visit 2/Day 0 was selected. If there was no difference for either measure, the right eye was used as the study eye.

    Day 0 post-application

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experienced One or More Device-related Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or any untoward clinical signs in participants, users or other persons it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the investigational medical device. Device-related AEs were presented as ocular and non-ocular.
