Measure
Chloroprocaine 3% Gel
The assigned investigational product (2 drops) will be instilled in both eyes of each subject. Administrations will be performed at the clinical centre by the Investigator or his/her deputy on study day 1. For each administration, the 2 drops will be instilled one at the time, at a 1 min interval. Chloroprocaine 3% eye gel: ocular surface anesthesia
Oxybuprocaine 0,4% Solution
The assigned active comparator (2 drops) will be instilled in both eyes of each subject. Administrations will be performed at the clinical centre by the Investigator or his/her deputy on study day 1. For each administration, the 2 drops will be instilled one at the time, at a 1 min interval. Oxybuprocaine Hydrochloride 4 Mg/mL Eye Drops: ocular surface anesthesia
