Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mean Change at Day 90 From Baseline (Day 0) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score	The OSDI is a 12-question validated questionnaire (resultant overall 0-100 point score) used to measure ocular symptoms, visual function and environmental factors that may affect a patient's vision, where 0 = normal and 100 = severe. The OSDI questionnaire was administered at both visits and completed by the patient with no assistance from the office staff, physician, or anyone else. The baseline OSDI score was subtracted from the 90-day OSDI score and reported as change. A negative number represents a perceived improvement in ocular health.	Baseline, Day 90	No
Secondary	Percentage of Patients With Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score = 0	The corneal surface was assessed by the investigator and graded on a scale of 0-3, where 0 = Absent (no staining present) and 3 = Severe (>50% coverage). Percentage of patients with score = 0 at 90 days was calculated by dividing the number of patients with score = 0 by the total number of patients analyzed.	Day 90	No
