Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to observe lacrimal fluid condition (tear film break-up time) chronologically after a single dose of AL-43546 ophthalmic products(0.15%, 0.25% and vehicle)and 0.1% sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution and compare lacrimal fluid retention time between them.
