Every night during sleep, there is an accumulation of white blood cells in the closed eye. The closed eye white blood cells are predominantly neutrophils, but there is a small population (3%) of T cells. The effects of these closed eye white blood cells on dry eye disease pathogenesis have yet to be fully elucidated, but preliminary evidence suggests that closed eye neutrophils may have an associated hyperactivity and increased degranulation in dry eye disease that could contribute to epithelial instability. As an anti-T cell therapy, Xiidra offers an opportunity to better understand how the closed eye white blood cells are recruited and activated. This study also seeks to verify the proposed mechanism of action.

Change from baseline in the total number of T cells recovered from the closed eye to day 84
Subjects will be trained and required to collect their closed eye tears at home, using a gentle saline rinse of the ocular surface. Enumeration of recovered T cells will be performed by flow cytometry.
Time frame: Baseline to day 84
