The percentage of participants responding with "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" for each question is presented.

    2. Comfort Ratings at 30 Days [30 days]

      Prior to any ocular assessments at the visit, comfort ratings were collected on a questionnaire using 5-point Likert scale, with 1=Strongly Agree, 1=Agree, 3=Neutral, 4=Disagree, 5=Strongly Disagree. The percentage of participants responding with "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" for each question is presented.
