|
Change in lower tear meniscus heigh
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Change in lower tear meniscus height measured using Keratograph and optical coherence tomography (OCT) after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change in lower tear meniscus area
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Change in lower tear meniscus area measured using Keratograph and optical coherence tomography (OCT) after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change from baseline in dry eye severity as assessed by the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
The OSDI is a validated 12-item questionnaire evaluating dry eye symptoms and their impact on vision-related functioning across three domains: ocular symptoms, visual function, and environmental triggers. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale (0 = none of the time to 4 = all of the time). The total OSDI score is calculated as: OSDI= number of questions answered (sum of scores)×25 Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disability. Severity categories are: normal (0-12), mild (13-22), moderate (23-32), and severe (33-100). |
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change from baseline in dry eye symptoms as assessed by the Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) scale.
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
The SANDE is a validated, patient-reported outcome measuring dry eye symptom burden using two 100-mm visual analog scales assessing frequency and severity of symptoms (0 = none, 100 = maximal). The composite SANDE score is calculated as the square root of the product of frequency and severity scores: Higher scores indicate worse symptoms. |
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change in tear film break-up time (TFBUT).
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Change in tear film break-up time measured with fluorescein after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change in non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT).
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Change in non-invasive tear break-up time measured using Keratograph after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change from baseline in ocular surface damage as assessed by the SICCA Ocular Surface Staining Score (OSS).
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
The SICCA OSS is a standardized clinical grading system developed by the Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance to quantify ocular surface epithelial damage using vital dyes.
The score combines fluorescein corneal staining and lissamine green conjunctival staining in each eye.
|
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change from baseline in corneal epithelial damage as assessed by the National Eye Institute Corneal Fluorescein Staining (NEI) score
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
The NEI corneal fluorescein staining score is a standardized slit-lamp-based grading system used to quantify corneal epithelial damage after fluorescein instillation. The cornea is divided into five regions (central, superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal). Each region is graded on a 0 to 3 scale based on staining density and extent: 0 = no staining
The total NEI score is the sum of all regions, ranging from 0 to 15, with higher scores indicating greater corneal epithelial damage. |
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change in Schirmer I test results.
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Change in tear production measured using the Schirmer I test with and without anesthesia after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Change in corneal sensitivity.
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|

|
Baseline to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|
Incidence of epiphora after upper punctal plug placement.
Aikaikkuna: Up to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Incidence of epiphora reported after upper punctal plug placement during the follow-up period.
|
Up to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
|

Aikaikkuna: Up to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
|
Proportion of upper punctal plugs remaining in place during the follow-up period after placement.
|
Up to 3 months after upper punctal plug placement.
