Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent of Subjects With ≥ 15 Letters of Improvement in Photopic Binocular DCNVA

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the percent of subjects with ≥ 15 letters of improvement in photopic binocular DCNVA on Visit 2 at 1 hour with POS + LDP compared to placebo alone. The improvement in binocular DCNVA for each subject was relative to the subject's own baseline value (Visit 1).

    Visit 2 at 1 hour

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Subjects With Improvement of ≥ 5, ≥ 10, and ≥ 15 Letters in DCNVA (Photopic) From Baseline

    Visit 2 at 0.5 hours, at 2 hours, at 3 hours, at 4 hours, and at 6 hours

  • Percentage of Subjects With Improvement of ≥ 15 Letters in DCNVA (Photopic) at 1 Hour and With < 5 Letters of Loss in Photopic Binocular BCDVA From Baseline

    Visit 2 at 1 hour

  • Percentage of Subjects With Improvement in DCIVA (Photopic) From Baseline

    Visit 2 at 1 hour, at 3 hours, and at 6 hours

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 64 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Males or females ≥ 40 and ≤ 64years of age.
  • BCDVA of 0.0 LogMAR(20/20 Snellen equivalent) or better in each eye under photopic conditions.
  • DCNVA of 0.4 LogMAR (20/50 Snellen equivalent) or worse under photopic conditions in each eye and binocularly.
  • Subjects who depend on reading glasses or bifocals in which their binocular best-corrected near VA is 0.1 LogMAR (20/25 Snellen equivalent) or better.

You may not qualify if:

  • Ophthalmic (in either eye):
  • Use of any topical prescription or OTC ophthalmic medications of any kind within 7 days of Screening until study completion.
  • Use of any over-the-counter (OTC) artificial tears (preserved or unpreserved) at least once per day within 7 days of Screening until study completion.
  • Current use of any topical ophthalmic therapy for dry eye.
  • Tear break-up time of \< 5 seconds or corneal fluorescein staining.
  • Clinically significant ocular disease that might interfere with the study as deemed by the Investigator.
  • Recent or current evidence of ocular infection or inflammation in either eye.
  • Any history of herpes simplex or herpes zoster keratitis.
  • History of diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema.
  • Known allergy, hypersensitivity, or contraindication to any component of the phentolamine, pilocarpine, or vehicle formulations.
  • History of cauterization of the punctum or punctal plug (silicone or collagen) insertion or removal.
  • Ocular trauma, ocular surgery, ocular laser treatment within the 6 months prior to Screening. Any subject with multifocal intraocular lenses are excluded.
  • History of any traumatic (surgical or nonsurgical) or non traumatic condition affecting the pupil or iris.
  • Unwilling or unable to discontinue use of contact lenses.
  • Conjunctival hyperemia ≥ grade 2 on the CCLRU 4-point scale.
  • +8 more criteria
