Descripción detallada
Twenty (20) patients will be enrolled in this two-period crossover, randomized study design. During the course of the study, each patient will be treated with each test article in the clinic at separate visits. Following the informed consent procedure, a general ocular evaluation, including corneal and conjunctival staining and Schirmer testing, will be done and evaporometry assessments will be completed to determine baseline tear evaporation rate. This will occur before any test article is administered to the patient.
Qualified patients will be randomized into two treatment groups. After 1 hour, in order to eliminate any residual sodium fluorescein, patients will be administered one drop of Systane® (40 µl) or Optive™ (40 µl) in each eye per randomization assignment. At 30 minutes following instillation of the drop, the evaporometry measurement will be repeated. These evaporometry tests (pre and post instillation of drops) will be performed in order to establish a comparison for later analysis. The estimated time in completing each study visit will be 180 minutes per visit. Patients will be asked to return to the clinic after 2 - 14 days for evaluation of the 2nd assigned crossover treatment (i.e. patients who initially received Optive will receive Systane and patients who initially received Systane will receive Optane).
During the interim study periods, patients will be asked to continue their pre-study routine; using their pre-study ocular lubricant or other tear products at the same frequency. Any changes in the frequency of product use during the interim period or any changes in other concomitant medications will be carefully recorded. This is especially important since many prescription products (e.g., Claritan) have significant effects on lacrimal gland physiology.
An effort will be made to schedule all study visits at approximately the same time of day in order to reduce diurnal variability. For the similar reasons, all patients will be asked not to use any lubricants or ocular medications for at least one hour prior to their office visits.

Comparador activo: Optive, then Systane Artificial Tears
Artificial Tears (Optive, 40 microliters) will be administered at the first study visit, after baseline evaporation rate measurements have been taken.
Evaporation rate measurements will be repeated 30 minutes later.
At the next study visit, 2-14 days later, artificial tears (Systane, 40 microliters) will be administered using the same procedure protocol.
|
First visit: Instillation of Optive followed by evaporometry assessment after 30 minutes. Second visit: Instillation of Systane followed by evaporometry assessment after 30 minutes. |

Aqueous Tear Evaporation Rate Before and After Use of OTC Artificial Tears
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and 30 minutes after artificial tear instillation
|
To evaluate the effect of OTC artificial tears on tear film stability, the evaporation rate (µl/cm2/min) will be determined with an Evaporometer for the left eye only of each patient.
For each arm, the evaporation rates will be determined at baseline and at 30 minutes after installation of artificial tears.
Evaporation rates in all cases will be determined under two different relative humidity (RH) conditions, RH from 25-35% and RH from 35-45%.
