Overview
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a condition where the tear film of the eye becomes unstable and along with ocular surface inflammation and damage leads to inadequate tear production and eye lubrication. This study will evaluate real-world experiences with Optive MEGA-3 (OM3) on relieving dry eye symptoms in adult participants with DED.
OM3 is an over the counter (OTC) monograph drug indicated for the temporary relief of symptoms of eye dryness. Participants will administer 1 drop of OM3 on Day 1 for the acute phase of the study, then participants will administer 1-2 eye drops in each eye at least twice a day but as much as needed through Day 15. Around 50 adult participants will be enrolled at one site in the United States.
There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Study visits may be conducted on-site as per standard of care.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- During a routine visit, investigator will decide whether artificial tears are the appropriate treatment for potential participants with dry eyes and will then consider enrollment into this study.
- Participant has at least one of the following signs of dry eye:
- Three consecutive tear break-up time (TBUT) tests <= 10 seconds in at least one eye at Screening Visit OR;
- Grade 1 to 4 (modified National Eye Institute [NEI] Grid, score range = 0 to 5) staining in at least 1 area of the cornea (5 areas examined) or conjunctiva (6 areas examined) that is related to dry eye in at least 1 eye at Screening Visit.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Use of artificial tears in the last 24 hours.
- Use of more than 4 drops of artificial tears per day in each eye.
