Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess efficacy of Chloroprocaine 3% ophthalmic gel in healthy subjects;Secondary Objective: To assess safety and local tolerability of Chloroprocaine 3% ophthalmic gel;Primary end point(s): Proportion of subjects gaining full anesthesia of the ocular surface 5 minutes after administration of Chloroprocaine 3% ophthalmic gel;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 5 minutes after instillation of IMP

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Safety and tolerability as assessed by the occurrence of ocular symptoms, adverse event occurrence and concomitant medication • Time of anesthesia and duration of anesthesia, as well as Cochet Bonnet assessments • Blood pressure and heart rate • Slit lamp examination • Corneal fluorescein staining • Intraocular pressure ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Visit 2 (Day of administration) - Visit 3 (1 day after administration, phone visit) - Visit 4 (7 +/- 1 days after administration) - Visit 5 (18 +/-3 days after administration, phone visit)
