for improving signs and symptoms in Dry Eye Disease (DED).

Genius PRP is a class II medical device with an 510(k)FDA clearance for platelet and plasma
separation for bone graft handling.
Subjects will sign the IC form within one week of being having been provided the form, at
which time they will undergo the following assessments:
- Routine ophthalmology tests (biomicroscopy, BCVA and IOP) including corneal fluorescein
staining and lissamine green conjunctival staining
- Measurement of tear break up time (TBUT) in both eyes. These values will be used as
baseline.
- Self-administration of the Eye Dryness Scale; 0-100 visual analogue scale. This score
will be used as baseline.
- Self-administration of Visual Analog Pain Scale
- Eligible subjects will be randomized with right eye to receive PRP and left eye to
receive vehicle eye drops in the same dosage.
Outcome measures will be assessed in both eyes.

diseases 8) Subjects with current ocular infections. 9) New prescription eye drops for dry
eye or glaucoma or omega 3 supplements prescribed within 90 days prior to screening,
excluding artificial tears 10) New topical treatments within the area to be treated, or
oral therapies, within 3 months prior to screening- except over-the-counter
acetaminophen-based analgesics for pain management 11) Change in dosage of any systemic
medication, within 3 months prior to screening 12) Anticipated relocation or extensive
travel outside of the local study area preventing compliance with follow-up over the study
period 13) Legally blind in one or both eyes 14) First IPL treatment, within 3 months prior
