Drop Comfort Assessment as Assessed by the Participant Secondary · At dose installation, 30 seconds postdose installation, and 1 minute postdose installation on Day 1

Drop comfort assessment (0-10 unit scale in which a score of 0 denotes "very comfortable" and 10 is "very uncomfortable") was performed by the participant. Participant's average score across eyes at each time point were used for analysis.
