In patients with dry eye, defined as corneal staining and a reduced tear breakup time, lifitegrast will improve higher order aberrations, ocular scatter index, corneal staining, and TBUT as soon as 1 week after initiating treatment.
This is a multicenter, prospective, open label, self-controlled, single group study of the efficacy of Lifitegrast 5% in improving higher order aberrations, ocular scatter index, and best corrected visual acuity in patients with dry eye. All patients will receive lifitegrast 5% for 4 weeks and will be evaluated at baseline (before treatment) and at 7, 14, and 28 days
