"Efficacy and Safety of Brimonidine Tartrate Preservative-Free Formulation in Adults With Ocular Redness"

This is a multi-center, double-masked, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, efficacy and safety study that will enroll 386 participants at up to six clinical sites. Participants with ocular redness will be randomized to receive either brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.025%, preservative-free formulation, or Lumify® (brimonidine tartrate ophthalmic solution 0.025%). Participants will be treated with study drug for approximately 4 weeks.
