Acute Tear Production by Jones Schirmer Test

Summary

This crossover design study evaluates the effectiveness of the Oculeve Intranasal Neurostimulator comparing the effect of intranasal (active) versus extranasal (control) stimulation on tear production as measured by the Jones Schirmer test in participants with dry eye disease.
