Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
A reduction in overall pain perception using lubricated eyelid speculum compared to a non-lubricated eyelid speculum is expected and the amount of reduction in overall pain perception may vary between two eyelid speculumsTimepoint: immediate post operation period (day 0-that is on the day of surgery)- within ten minutes of completion of surgery, no further time points	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
A reduction in overall pain perception using lubricated eyelid speculum compared to a non-lubricated eyelid speculum is expected and the amount of reduction in overall pain perception may vary between two eyelid speculumsTimepoint: 10 minutes after surgery on Day 0(the day of surgery)	—
