This study evaluated pupil dilation after administration of fixed combination tropicamide-phenylephrine (TR/PH) vs. placebo. Participants attended 3 visits. At each visit, after baseline measurements, either the study drug or placebo was administered to both eyes, then pupil dilation and safety assessments were performed at specific time intervals.
Volunteer participants were screened for study eligibility during a Screening Visit and enrolled after signing the study-specific informed consent form. Subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria were scheduled for 3 treatment visits, which were at least 2 days, but no more than 7 days apart. At each treatment visit, baseline measurements were taken, then either the study drug or placebo was administered to both eyes. Afterwards, efficacy and safety assessments were performed at 20, 35, 50, 65, 80, 120, and 180 minutes. Participants' treatment assignments for each treatment visit were equally randomized using 1 of 2 sequences - ABB or BAA, where A was the study drug and B was the placebo.

Change in Pupil Diameter From Baseline
Difference in 35-minute pupil diameter vs. baseline measured using pupillometry in highly photopic conditions. Pupil diameter is reported in millimeters. For the change in pupil diameter, larger measurements indicate a better outcome.
Time frame: 35 minutes after initial dose
