Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate the increase in comfort and comfortable contact lens (CL) wear time associated with application of TrueTear (active intranasal neurostimulation) compared with application of TrueTear sham control (intranasal application which is not electrically active) in symptomatic CL wearers.

TrueTear

TrueTear Device (Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator) was used intranasally on contact lens (CL) wear days; it was also used on non-CL wear days if the participant chose. The number of applications was determined by participant.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TrueTear

Intervention Type DEVICE

TrueTear Device (Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator) was used intranasally on CL wear days; it was also used on non-CL wear days if the participant chose. The number of applications was determined by participant.

TrueTear Sham Control

TrueTear sham device, which is not electrically active and has limited tip insertion depth, was used intranasally on CL wear days; it was also used on non-CL wear days if participant chose. The number of applications was determined by participant.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

TrueTear Sham Control

Intervention Type DEVICE

TrueTear sham device, which is not electrically active and has limited tip insertion depth, was used intranasally on CL wear days; it was also used on non-CL wear days if participant chose. The number of applications was determined by participant.
