Brief Summary

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

The goal of this prospective observational pilot study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of RESTASIS (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution 0.05%) when added to the PROSE (Prosthetic Replacement of the Ocular Surface Ecosystem) lens reservoir in patients with ocular surface disease (OSD). Secondary endpoints include early (1-month) efficacy data for ocular signs and symptoms.

Detailed Description

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

For this study, all subjects will receive Restasis (Cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05%). One drop of the dispensed study drop will be instilled in the PROSE lens reservoir twice a day and the remainder of the reservoir will be filled with normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride solution). In order to standardize solutions used in the PROSE reservoir, all patients recruited will be either currently using or will be switched to buffered preservative-free normal saline (Purilens, Lifestyle Inc., pH 7.46 ) to better match the reported pH of RESTASIS (pH 6.5-8.05 ).

Outcomes will include subjective responses regarding the subject's symptoms and visual function in addition to the objective assessments of the health of the ocular surface seen on clinical examination. Results will be measured at baseline, after 1 week, and after 1 month of the study.
