PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 5 (Postoperative Day 8)

Population: Intent to treat population (ITT)

Number of eyes with grade 0 ocular pain. Ocular pain, defined as a positive sensation of the eye, based on a 0-5 scale where grade 0 equaled no pain and grade 5 equaled severe pain. Ocular pain graded by participants.
