A Study to Determine the Prevalence of Inflammatory Dry Eye Disease in Patients Prior to Cataract Removal (REVEAL)

Patients with Planned Cataract Removal

Patients with planned cataract removal surgery are evaluated for the presence of inflammatory dry eye disease. No treatment is administered.

Percentage of Patients With a Presence of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the Study Eye

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye.

Percentage of Participants Suspected of Having Dry Eye With Elevated MMP-9

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Suspected of having dry eye was defined as a response of "Yes" to the Investigator Dry Eye History question.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 Without Prior Diagnosis or Physician Recommended Intervention

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Participants without a prior diagnosis of keratoconjunctivitis sicca, dry eye or tear film insufficiency or physician recommended use of topical cyclosporine, artificial tears or punctal plugs are included in the analysis.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 With Dry Eye Symptoms Without Conjunctival or Corneal Staining

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Dry eye symptoms were measured by a score of at least ≥ 2 using the Subject Evaluation of Symptoms of Dryness (SESoD) questionnaire without conjunctival or corneal staining. The SESoD assesses dry eye using a 5-point scale where 0= no dryness to 4= severe dryness. Conjunctival and Corneal Staining were evaluated as part of the slit lamp biomicroscopy examination. Eye structures and surfaces were assessed for dry eye signs using a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 0.5=trace, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 With Dry Eye Symptoms Without Any Signs

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Dry eye symptoms were measured by a score of at least ≥ 2 using the SESoD questionnaire without any signs. The SESoD assesses dry eye using a 5-point scale where 0= no dryness to 4= severe dryness. Signs included conjunctival or corneal staining, Schirmer's score ≤ 7mm, or Tear Film Break-up Time [TFBUT] ≤ 10 seconds.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 With at Least One Dry Eye Sign Without Dry Eye Symptoms

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Dry Eye Signs included conjunctival or corneal staining, Schirmer's score ≤ 7 mm, or Tear Film Break-up Time [TFBUT] ≤ 10 seconds without Dry eye symptoms measured by a score of at least ≤ 1 using the SESoD questionnaire. The SESoD assessed dry eye using a 5-point scale where 0= no dryness to 4= severe dryness.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 With at Least One Dry Eye Sign and Dry Eye Symptoms

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Dry Eye Signs included conjunctival or corneal staining, Schirmer's score ≤ 7mm, or Tear Film Break-up Time [TFBUT] ≤ 10 seconds with Dry eye symptoms measured by a score of at least ≥ 2 using the SESoD questionnaire. The SESoD assessed dry eye using a 5-point scale where 0= no dryness to 4= severe dryness.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 Who Routinely Use Artificial Tears

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Artificial Tear usage was assessed by the investigator.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 With Punctal Plugs

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. A history of punctual plug usage was assessed by the investigator.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 With Corneal Staining Grade ≥ 1 and ≥ 2

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. Corneal Staining was evaluated as part of the slit lamp biomicroscopy examination. Eye structures and surfaces were assessed for signs of dry eye using a 5-point scale where: 0=none, 0.5=trace, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

Percentage of Participants With Elevated MMP-9 and an Ocular Surface Disease Index® (OSDI®) > 12, > 22 and ≥ 32

Tear film was collected and a diagnostic test was used to determine the presence of MMP-9 in the study eye. The OSDI consists of 12 questions to assess visual function, ocular symptoms and environmental triggers related to dry eye. Each of the 12 questions is assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time to 4=all of the time) which is converted to a total score between 0-100. OSDI total scores of 0-12=normal (best), 13-22= mild ocular surface disease, 23-32 =moderate ocular surface disease, and 33-100=severe ocular surface disease (worst).
