Conditions

Dry Eye Syndrome, Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca

Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate acute tear production as measured by tear meniscus height (TMH) captured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) after single use of the Oculeve Intranasal Neurostimulator (OIN) in participants with dry eye.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, open-label clinical trial in which participants will use the OIN once following study enrollment.
