Overview
Brief Summary
This study characterizes acute dry eye symptom control, assessed during exposure to a Controlled Adverse Environment, following use of the TrueTear for 45 days.
Detailed Description
Subjects will be instructed to use the TrueTear daily for approximately 45 days with assessments in the Controlled Adverse Environment taking place on Day 0 and Day 45. Upon entering the CAE, participants will complete dry eye symptom questionnaires every five minutes and will administer the device when a certain level of ocular discomfort has been reached.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Eye Dryness Score
Time Frame: Day 45
Eye Dryness Score using a visual analog scale assessed in the Controlled Adverse Environment (CAE). The participant rates their current eye dryness (both eyes simultaneously) by scoring 0 to indicate "no discomfort" and 100 to indicate "maximal discomfort". The assessment line length of the scale will be 100 mm.
