Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Tolerability Survey Score Using a 100 Unit Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in Period 1

Time Frame: After 14 days of treatment in Period 1 (Follow-up 1 Day 14)

Tolerability was assessed using an 8-item survey consisting of 4 positive questions: comfort, soothing, moistening/lubricating and vision clarity and 4 negative questions: stickiness, blur, burning/stinging and discomfort. Participants were instructed to think about their experience over the past week and place a vertical line on the line that best captured how they felt the first 30 minutes after the study drops were administered using the scale: 0 far left of the line to 100 far right on the line. The individual positive scores are added together to obtain the total positive tolerability score from 0 (worst) to 400 (best) and the individual negative scores are added together to obtain the total negative tolerability score for a total possible score of 0 (best) to 400 (worst).

Tolerability Survey Score Using a 100 Unit Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in Period 2

Time Frame: After 14 days of treatment in Period 2 (Follow-up 2 Day 35)

Tolerability was assessed using an 8-item survey consisting of 4 positive questions: comfort, soothing, moistening/lubricating and vision clarity and 4 negative questions: stickiness, blur, burning/stinging and discomfort. Participants were instructed to think about their experience over the past week and place a vertical line on the line that best captured how they felt the first 30 minutes after the study drops were administered using the scale: 0 far left of the line to 100 far right on the line. The individual positive scores are added together to obtain the total positive tolerability score from 0 (worst) to 400 (best) and the individual negative scores are added together to obtain the total negative tolerability score for a total possible score of 0 (best) to 400 (worst).
