Be at least 18 years of age at the time of consent, able to provide written voluntary informed consent, willing to follow instructions and participate in all trial assessments and visits
Be a candidate for routine, uncomplicated bilateral LASIK surgery (for spherical equivalent [≤-8.00D] myopia or myopic astigmatism correction, not combined with any other procedure; monovision myopic targets are allowed, however the myopic target eye will be the non-study [fellow] eye)

Disqualifiers
History of eye trauma/surgery within the last 6 months that resulted in corneal scarring
DED secondary to scarring, irradiation, alkali burns, cicatricial pemphigoid, or destruction of conjunctival goblet cells, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, active blepharitis, or lid margin inflammation
Abnormal cornea (e.g., keratoconus or corneal epithelial defect, pterygium, or history of herpetic keratitis)
Use of any of the following ocular therapies in the study eye within 30 days prior to Visit 1: topical ocular steroid treatments, prescription dry eye therapy (including nasal spray), or topical intraocular pressure-lowering medications
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Miebo four times per day
DrugSingle arm study where subjects dose with Miebo four times per day for one month before LASIK and for 1.5 months after LASIK
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Compare eye dryness following laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery to eye dryness prior to receiving perioperative Miebo in patients with dry eye disease (DED) as measured by visual analog scale (VAS) eye dryness score
Visual analog scole with a minimum score of 0 (lowest rating) and maximum score of 100 (highest rating)
