Exclusion Criteria

• Have had any intraocular surgery (such as cataract surgery), extraocular surgery (such as blepharoplasty) in either eye within three months or refractive surgery (e.g. laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, laser epithelial keratomileusis, photorefractive keratectomy or corneal implant) within twelve months of Visit 1

• Have a systemic condition or disease not stabilized or judged by the Investigator to be incompatible with participation in the study or with the lengthier assessments required by the study (e.g., current systemic infection, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, uncontrolled immunodeficiency disease, history of myocardial infarction or heart disease, etc.)
• Have a known hypersensitivity to any of the procedural agents or study drug components
• Have any condition or history that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with study compliance, outcome measures, safety parameters, and/or the general medical condition of the subject
