Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the addition of a new emulsion artificial tear to the tear layer of dry eye and normal patients affects aberrometry, contrast sensitivity, and reading ability over time. Previous studies have indicated that daily use of artificial tears over a two week period decreases the short term affect of drop application on aberrometry and contrast sensitivity measurements. The present study will examine the effects of 4 weeks of artificial tear use to determine when the responses stabilize.

Primary Outcome

Change in contrast sensitivity with administration of the artificial tear. During a visit, contrast sensitivity is initially monitored for several minutes (i.e., pre-artificial tear application contrast sensitivity) and the artificial tear is then applied and the contrast sensitivity is continually measured for several more minutes (post-artificial tear application contrast sensitivity). The administration of the artificial tear decreases contrast sensitivity for approximately a minute. The data
