- Male or female, 18 years of age or older
- Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/40 or better (Snellen equivalent), using the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) in each eye
- Evidence of meibomian gland obstruction
- Reported dry eye signs and symptoms within the past 3 months
You may not qualify if:
- Uncontrolled ocular disease (except for MGD and dry eye disease/keratoconjunctivitis sicca) or uncontrolled systemic disease
- Glaucoma, ocular hypertension, or intraocular pressure (IOP) in either eye at screening ≥24 mm Hg or has planned insertion/removal of glaucoma filtration shunts/devices during the study
- Corneal abnormality or disorder that impacts normal spreading of the tear film or corneal integrity
- BCVA worse than 20/40 in either eye
- Current use of punctal plugs, anticipated insertion during the study, or a history of punctal cautery in either eye
