Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Best Corrected Visual AcuityChange from Baseline at Day 90Percentage of Subjects Tabulated by Changes in Line Number at Day 90 from Baseline; Visual Acuity measured by LogMar reported as Snellen equivalents. Better: an increase of 2 lines or more in at least one eye; No Change: a change less than +/- 2 lines in both eyes; Worse: a decrease of 2 lines or more in at least one eye.

Patient Acceptability

A questionnaire was administered to all patients to evaluate the acceptability of the Rewetting Drops (RD) with use with Contact Lenses (CL). Table below shows the percentage of participants responding either Agree or Strongly Agree at day 90. Number of participants answering question is indicated as (number of Test subjects/number of Control subjects)
