Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
palpebral fissure height (mm)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Subjective Symptoms SPEED Score: Evaluates the frequency and severity of dry eye symptoms, scoring from 0 to 28. Visual Analog Scale (VAS): Independently rates 8 symptoms (dryness, eye fatigue, discomfort, blurred vision, foreign body sensation, pain, heaviness, difficulty opening eyes) from 0 (no symptoms) to 100 (maximum symptoms). Measurements using idra Tear lipid layer thickness (nm) Tear meniscus height (mm) Blink quality (%), complete/incomplete blinks, duration (seconds) Non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT first, average) (seconds) Corneal and conjunctival epithelial damage score: Assessed using fluorescein staining (0-9). Tear film break-up time with fluorescein (FBUT) (seconds): Average of 3 measurements.
