Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
