Group Intervention Description Saline Solution Eye Drop Sterile balanced saline solution Participants will be randomized to receive a single drop of sterile balanced saline solution to either the left or right eye. Lumify Eye Drop Brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.025% Participants will be randomized to receive a single drop of Lumify to either the left or right eye.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Palpebral Fissure Height Baseline, 5, 15 and 30 minutes after application Objective measurement of distance between inner margin of upper and lower eyelids from clinical photographs.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Intraocular Pressure Baseline, 5, 15 and 30 minutes after application Measurement of intraocular pressure using handheld Tono-Pen(tm) tonometer
Eye Redness Baseline, 5, 15 and 30 minutes after application Eye redness will be reported as the number of participants achieving a score of ocular redness from clinical photographs as 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe).
Eye Discomfort Baseline, 5, 15 and 30 minutes after application Eye discomfort will be reported as the number of participants reporting subjective ocular discomfort score from 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (mild) and 3 (severe).
