Plain-language summary

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, parallel-arm, double-masked, placebo-controlled study. One (1) to 2 days prior to their scheduled cataract surgery, each study subject will be randomized (2:1) in to one of two treatment groups: N-PPDS or p-PPDS, which are inserted in the lower punctum of the subject's scheduled surgical eye. All plugs will remain in the study subject's lower punctum for a period of 2 weeks following cataract surgery.
