Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)Visit 2 [1 to 7 days after Visit 1/Screening (Day 1)] through Exit Visit. Exit Visit will occur 3 to 13 days after Visit 2 depending on observed visit windows.]

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) in subjects, users, or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device (test product). The number of adverse events as observed or reported will be recorded.

Number of Subjects with Biomicroscopy Findings Outside of Normal LimitVisit 1/Screening (Day 1) through Exit Visit. Exit Visit will occur 4 to 20 days after Visit 1 depending on observed visit windows.

The investigator will observe the corneal and other ocular structures under white light of the slit lamp. The number of subjects with biomicroscopy findings outside of normal limits will be recorded.

Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)Visit 1/Screening (Day 1) through Exit Visit. Exit Visit will occur 4 to 20 days after Visit 1 depending on observed visit windows.

BCVA will be assessed using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter charts and recorded in logarithm Minimum angle of resolution (logMar).
