What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline (Day 0) in Ocular Comfort Rating at Day 14

    Ocular comfort was rated by the participant on a continuous visual analog scale from 0-100, where 0=extremely uncomfortable, 50=neither comfortable nor uncomfortable, and 100=extremely comfortable. The participant marked a horizontal line across the scale at the point that best described, "how your eyes feel right now." A positive number indicates increased ocular comfort; a negative number indicates decreased ocular comfort.
