Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Total Corneal Staining Score With Fluorescein in the Worse Eye
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Total corneal staining with fluorescein is measured in the worse eye utilizing the Ora CalibraTM Corneal Flourescein Staining Scale (0 to 4 scale where 0=no staining and 4= severe staining). The sum of the total includes 3 regions of the cornea, resulting in a maximum possible score of 12 (severe staining score of 4 in all three regions). A negative change from baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement). A positive change from baseline represents an increase in staining (worsening).
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Total Conjunctival Staining Score With Fluorescein in the Worse Eye
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Total conjunctival staining with fluorescein is measured in the worse eye utilizing the Ora CalibraTM Conjunctiva Flourescein Staining Scale (0 to 4 scale where 0=no staining and 4= severe staining). The sum of the total includes 2 regions of the conjunctiva, resulting in a maximum possible score of 8 (severe staining score of 4 in both regions). A negative change from baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement). A positive change from baseline represents an increase in staining (worsening).
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Total Corneal Staining Score With Lissamine Green in the Worse Eye
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Total corneal staining with lissamine green is measured in the worse eye utilizing the Ora CalibraTM Corneal Lissamine Staining Scale (0 to 4 scale where 0=no staining and 4= severe staining). The sum of the total includes 3 regions of the cornea, resulting in a maximum possible score of 12 (severe staining score of 4 in all three regions). A negative change from baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement). A positive change from baseline represents an increase in staining (worsening).
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Total Conjunctival Staining Score With Lissamine Green in the Worse Eye
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Total conjunctival staining with lissamine is measured in the worse eye utilizing the Ora CalibraTM Conjunctiva Lissamine Staining Scale (0 to 4 scale where 0=no staining and 4= severe staining). The sum of the total includes 2 regions of the conjunctiva, resulting in a maximum possible score of 8 (severe staining score of 4 in both regions). A negative change from baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement). A positive change from baseline represents an increase in staining (worsening).
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Reading on the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The OSDI consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The reading question is assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time; 4=all of the time). The reading score is converted to a 0-100 score where 0 is best and 100 is worst. Higher OSDI reading scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates worsening.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Driving at Night on the OSDI
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The OSDI consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The driving at night question is assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time; 4=all of the time). The driving at night score is converted to a 0-100 score where 0 is best and 100 is worst. Higher OSDI reading scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates worsening.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Working With a Computer or Bank Machine on the OSDI
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The OSDI consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The working with a computer or bank machine question is assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time; 4=all of the time). The working with a computer or bank machine score is converted to a 0-100 score where 0 is best and 100 is worst. Higher OSDI reading scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates worsening.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Watching TV on the OSDI
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The OSDI consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The watching TV question is assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time; 4=all of the time). The watching TV score is converted to a 0-100 score where 0 is best and 100 is worst. Higher OSDI reading scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates worsening.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Reading Rate
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Reading speed is assessed as the number of words read correctly in 2 minutes.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Words Read Incorrectly
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The numbers of words read incorrectly are counted in 2 minutes. A positive change from baseline indicates a worsening, and a negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Font Size
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The minimum font (letter) size read correctly is assessed. Smaller font size indicates better ability. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement and a positive change from baseline indicates a worsening.
Baseline, Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in OSDI
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The OSDI consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. Each of the 12 questions is assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time; 4=all of the time). The score is converted to a 0-100 score where 0 is best and 100 is worst. Higher OSDI scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates worsening.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Ocular Discomfort on a 4-point Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Ocular discomfort is assessed on a 4-point scale where 0=no discomfort and 3=most discomfort. A positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening and a negative number change from baseline indicates an improvement.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Tear Film Break-up Time in the Worse Eye
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
TFBUT is defined as the time required for dry spots to appear on the surface of the eye after blinking. The longer it takes, the more stable the tear film. A positive number change from baseline indicates improvement and a negative number change from baseline indicates a worsening.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in the Interblink Interval in the Worse Eye
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
The interblink interval measures the time (seconds) between blinks in the worse eye. A positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening (more frequent blinks) and a negative number change from baseline (less frequent blinks) indicates an improvement.
Baseline, Month 6
Change From Baseline in Conjunctival Redness in the Worse Eye
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6
Conjunctival redness is scored in the worse eye on a numeric analog scale ranging from 0=None to 4=Extremely Severe (0.5 increments were allowed). A positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening and a negative number change from baseline indicates an improvement.
Baseline, Month 6
