Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells
White blood cell accumulation in anterior aqueous humor was assessed by the Investigator during slit lamp examination and graded on a 5-point scale: Grade 0 = no cells seen; Grade 1 = 1 to 5 cells; Grade 2 = 6 to 15 cells; Grade 3 = 16 to 30 cells; Grade 4 = \> 30 cells. Lower score indicated better outcome. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as cell score = 0 in the study eye.
Time frame: 8 days
Percentage of Participants With Grade 0 Pain in the Study Eye.
Ocular pain, defined as a positive sensation of the eye, including foreign body sensation, stabbing, throbbing, or aching, was assessed and graded by subjects on the 6-point scale, with 0=None and 5=Severe.
Time frame: 8 days

Flare was evaluated by the Investigator by assessing the scattering of a slit lamp light beam directed into the anterior chamber (Tyndall effect). Flare was graded on the 5-point scale, with 0=None (best) and 4=Very Severe (worst). Complete resolution of AC flare was defined as Grade 0.
