Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Vitreoretinal Disease

• Registration Number: NCT02477605

• Study Design: PARALLEL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Mean Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) on Operative Day	Day 0 preoperative, Day 0 postoperative	IOP (fluid pressure inside the eye) was assessed using the study specified tono-pen and measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Change was defined as the difference between immediate postoperative IOP and immediate preoperative IOP. A greater change in IOP may indicate a less stable posterior chamber and/or a more invasive surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Mean Post-operative Pain Rating at Day 1	Day 1 post operative	The subject was asked to rate post-operative pain in the study eye using a score of 0-10, where 0=no pain and 10=the worst pain imaginable.
Mean Conjunctival Edema Score at Week 1	Week 1 post operative	Conjunctival edema (swelling) was assessed during examination by the investigator and graded on a scale of 0-3, where 0=Absent and 3=Severe. Each sclerotomy wound was graded as infusion, vitrectomy probe, and illuminator and the average of the three was the overall Conjunctival Edema Score at the visit. Only one eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.
