Evaluating a new eye drop treatment for droopy eyelids in Chinese patients

Inclusion Criteria:

* At least one eye diagnosed with acquired blepharoptosis and presence of all the following criteria at screening:

  * Loss of reliable Leicester Peripheral Field Test (LPFT) of ≥ 8 points in the top 2 rows (LPFT Eligibility Score); subjects had to see at least 9 total points in the top 4 rows (LPFT Total Score).
  * This criterion had to be met in both the Visit 1 Hour 0 (V1H0) and Visit 1 Hour 6 (V1H6) LPFT assessments.
  * There had to be ≤4 points of variance between the V1H0 and the V1H6 LPFT Eligibility Score.
  * The Marginal Reflex Distance-1 (MRD-1), the distance from the pupil center to the margin of upper lid, ≤ 2 mm (no visible pupil center defaults to 0) in the same eye
  * Visual acuity is 0.25 decimals (i.e., Snellen 20/80) or better according to standard logarithmic visual acuity chart in the same eye
* Presence of all the following criteria at baseline:

  * Loss of reliable LPFT of ≥8 points in the top 2 rows (LPFT Eligibility Score) in the same eye; subjects had to see at least 9 total points in the top 4 rows (LPFT Total Score).
  * This criterion had to be met in the Visit 2 Hour 0 (V2H0) LPFT assessment
  * There had to be ≤4 points of variance between the V1H6 and the V2H0 LPFT Eligibility Score;
  * The MRD-1, the distance from the pupil center to the margin of upper lid, ≤ 2 mm (no visible pupil center defaults to 0) in the same eye
  * Visual acuity is 0.25 decimals (i.e., Snellen 20/80) or better according to standard logarithmic visual acuity chart in the same eye
* Female subjects are 1-year postmenopausal, surgically sterilized, or females of childbearing potential (females who had started their menstrual cycles) with a negative urine pregnancy test at screening. Females of childbearing potential had to use an acceptable form of contraception throughout the study.

Exclusion Criteria: In the study eye

* Dermatochalasis that extended less than 3 mm above the upper eyelid margin.
* Pseudoptosis (upper eyelid dermatochalasis that overhung the upper eyelid margin).
* In either eye: Congenital ptosis; Horner syndrome; Marcus Gunn jaw-winking syndrome; Myasthenia gravis.
* Mechanical ptosis, including ptosis due to orbital or lid tumour, cicatricial processes affecting the movements of the upper lid, and enophthalmos.
* Previous ptosis surgery (previous blepharoplasty \[only\] was allowed provided the surgery took place \> 3 months prior to screening).
* Lid position affected by lid or conjunctival scarring; Visual field loss from any cause other than ptosis; History of herpes keratitis.
* History of closed/narrow angle glaucoma (unless patent peripheral iridotomy had been performed \> 3 months prior to screening).
* Periocular neurotoxin (e.g., Botox®, Dysport®) injections within 3 months prior to screening and during the study.
* Topical application of bimatoprost (i.e., Latisse®) to the eyelashes within 7 days prior to screening and during the study.
* Use of topical ophthalmic medications including but not limited to anti-allergy \[e.g., antihistamines like Emadine®, Patanol®\], dry eye \[e.g., Diquas®, Beifushu®; except artificial tears like Hyaluronate\], antimicrobial drugs \[e.g., antibiotics and antivirals like Cravit®,Tobrex®, Aciclovir\], and anti-inflammatory drugs
* Current punctal plugs or placement of punctal plugs during the study.
* Current use of over-the-counter (OTC) vasoconstrictor/decongestant eye medication or any ophthalmic or non-ophthalmic α-adrenergic agonist including OTC products at any time during the study.
