About this study

Determine the ability of the TearScience™ LipiView™ II Ocular Surface Interferometer and the Keratograph® 5M to detect tear film stability utilizing Miebo® by examining potential differences in various tear film assessments before dosing Miebo® and at multiple timepoints post-Miebo® dosing

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • At least 18 years of age at the time of consent
  • Able to provide written voluntary informed consent
  • Must have a normal pre-corneal tear film in one or both eyes[MC4.1][AA4.2]
  • Subjects cannot have instilled any topical ocular drops (including OTC lubricant drops) within 24 hours of the study visit.
  • Able and willing to follow instructions, including participation in all trial assessments and visits

Exclusion criteria

  • Have any clinically significant ocular surface slit-lamp findings in either eye and/or, in the opinion of the Investigator, have any findings that could interfere with trial parameters including:
  • History of Stevens-Johnson syndrome
  • Active blepharitis or lid margin inflammation
  • DED secondary to scarring, irradiation, alkali burns, cicatricial pemphigoid, or destruction of conjunctival goblet cells (as with vitamin A deficiency)
  • Abnormal lid anatomy causing incomplete eyelid closure
  • Abnormal cornea shape (keratoconus)
  • Corneal epithelial defect or significant confluent staining or filaments
  • History of ocular malignancy
  • Pterygium in either eye
  • Use of any of the following ocular therapies in the study eye within 24 hours prior to Visit 1: Vuity®, VIZZ™, topical ocular steroid treatments, topical antibiotics, prescription dry eye therapy including varenicline nasal spray, over the counter dry eye therapy (such as artificial tears, re-wetting drops, or Lumify®), TrueTear™ device (intranasal tear neurostimulator), or topical anti-glaucoma medication
  • Have active uncontrolled ocular allergies or ocular allergies that are expected to be active during the trial period
  • Have undergone intraocular surgery or ocular laser surgery in the study eye within 3 months prior to Visit 1; have undergone refractive surgery in the study eye within 6 months prior to Visit 1
  • Have worn contact lenses within 24 hours prior to Visit 1.
  • Have active ocular or systemic infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal), including fever
  • Female subjects who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential who are not using an acceptable means of birth control; acceptable methods of contraception include hormonal (oral, implantable, injectable, or transdermal) contraception; mechanical (spermicide in conjunction with a barrier such as a diaphragm or condom) contraception; intrauterine device; or surgical sterilization of partner. For non-sexually active female subjects, abstinence may be regarded as an adequate method of birth control; however, if the subject becomes sexually active during the trial, she must agree to use adequate birth control as defined above for the remainder of the trial
  • Have an uncontrolled systemic disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, will interfere with the trial
  • Have a known allergy and/or sensitivity to the investigational product or diagnostic substances (e.g. fluorescein) to be used in the study
  • Are currently enrolled in any investigational or device study or have used Miebo® within 24 hours prior to Visit

Treatment and study plan
