Dry Eye Syndromes
Conditions
Brief summary
Single-center, Prospective, Open Label, with Before-After Study Design, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the optical system in the treatment of dry eye disease.
Detailed description
Single-center, Prospective, Open Label, with Before-After Study Design. Up to 15 subjects will be enrolled in the study to provide at least 10 evaluable subjects. All subjects will undergo 3 treatments two weeks apart (2 weeks (+/-3 days) from the previous treatment). Follow-up visits after the last treatment visit: 4 weeks (±7 days), 12 weeks (±7 days).
Interventions
non-invasive light pulse generated by a non-contacting device for the treatment of the symptoms of dry eyes and MDG
