ACCURATE Study for Subjects With Dry Eyes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To determine treatment and imaging outcomes in bilateral ocular surface disease management with an intracanalicular dexamethasone (0.4 mg) insert compared to standard topical over-the-counter artificial tears lubrication management

Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the benefit of treatment with a physician administered intracanalicular dexamethasone insert and patient administered artificial tears prn compared to patient administered artificial tears prn (control) in patients with bilateral ocular surface dry eye disease. The study is a self-controlled design and includes multiple objective, measureable, and quantifiable endpoints to best determine an objective response to treatment in patient eyes randomized to either the insert plus prn artificial tears or artificial tears prn control. To aid in ensuring best possible masking, DEXTENZA is best visualized with blue light and yellow filter and therefore visualization will not be assessed until final visit following all measures.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Determine effect of dexamethasone insert over artificial tears [1 month]
To determine the effect of dexamethasone insert plus over-the-counter artificial tears prn compared to over the counter artificial tears prn from Baseline at Week 2 (at 8 am, 12 pm and 4 pm) as measured by iTrace and IOL Master 700: and comfort of dry eyes using the OSDI scale and reading scores
Secondary Outcome Measures
- OSDI scores [1 month]
comfort of dry eyes using the OSDI scale and reading scores, scores are from the SPEED questionnaire. scale from 0-3 0-Never 1- Sometime 2-Often 3-Constant for the symptoms
Other Outcome Measures
- ITRACE [1 month]
measured by iTrace to measure comfort of dry eyes, no scale just review the changes if there are any
- IOL Master [1 month]
as measured by IOL Master 700 to measure comfort of dry eyes, compare the previous images after each visit
