Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is evaluating a prescription eye drop called Xiidra (lifitegrast) for reducing eye surface discomfort in glaucoma patients who use multiple eye drops to control their eye pressure. Long-term use of glaucoma drops can irritate the surface of the eye, and Xiidra may help relieve that discomfort.
**You may be eligible if:**
- You are currently using one or more topical glaucoma eye drops to lower eye pressure
- You experience symptoms of eye surface discomfort (dryness, irritation, etc.)
- Xiidra has been prescribed as part of your standard glaucoma care
**You may NOT be eligible if:**
- You have had glaucoma filtering surgery or eye surface surgery (such as pterygium removal)
- You are currently using topical cyclosporine eye drops
- You are currently using topical steroid eye drops
- You have had eye surgery within the past 6 months
