What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index© Questionnaire Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 30
The Ocular Surface Disease Index© Questionnaire is a 12-item survey assessing the overall severity of dry eye disease per patient. Each question is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0=none of the time to 4=all of the time for a total possible score of 0=No disease to 100=Maximum severity of disease. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Day 30

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Tear Break-up Time
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 30
Tear Break-up Time (TBUT) was assessed at Baseline and Day 30. TBUT is the time in seconds required for dry spots to appear on the corneal surface after blinking. The shorter the tear break-up time, the worse the dry eye. The worse eye at baseline is used to calculate the change at Day 30. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Day 30
Change From Baseline in Corneal Staining
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 30
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye which covers the iris and pupil. Corneal staining following administration of fluorescein dye in the eye is graded using a 6-point scale (0= no staining, 5 = severe staining) over 5 areas of the clear central part of the eye for a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 25. The higher the grade score, the worse the dry eye condition. The worse eye at baseline is used to calculate the change at Day 30. A negative number change from baseline represents a decrease in corneal staining (improvement).
Baseline, Day 30
Change From Baseline in Conjunctival Staining
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 30
The conjunctiva is the clear membrane covering the white surface of the eye. Conjunctival staining following ocular administration of lissamine green dye was graded using a 6-point scale (0=no staining, 5=severe staining) over 6 areas of the white part of the eye for a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 30. The higher the score, the worse the dry eye condition. The worse eye at baseline is used to calculate the change at Day 30. A negative number change from baseline represents a decrease in the severity of conjunctival staining (improvement).
Baseline, Day 30
Change From Baseline in Schirmer Test Results
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 30
The Schirmer Test measures the rate of the secretion of tears produced by the eye over 5 minutes. The results indicate the presence of dry eye (Normal = greater than or equal to 10 millimeters (mm) of tears, Dry Eye = less than 10 mm of tears). The smaller the number, the more severe the dry eye. The worse eye at baseline is used to calculate the change at Day 30. A positive number change from baseline indicates an increase in tears (improvement).
Baseline, Day 30
