Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion criteria will be defined ensuring that both ophthalmic and systemic criteria disqualify inappropriate subjects from inclusion in the clinical study.
Patients will be excluded for participating in this study if 1 or more of the following criteria are met:

•Ophthalmic criteria:
1.History of other than dry eye, ocular surface of moderate to severe Meibomian gland disease (grades +++ to ++++ [moderately to severely altered expressibility and secretion quality]: moderate symptoms with mild to moderate corneal staining, mainly peripheral; or marked symptoms with marked corneal staining, central in addition), chronic, or acute ophthalmic disease in either eye, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, clinically significant cataract (primary or secondary).
2.Best-corrected visual acuity score of 55 letters read or lower in each eye as measured by ETDRS (letters read method).
3.Any hypersensitivity to the use of the study product formulations or an allergy to any ingredient(s) contained within product formulations or products required while participating in the study, such as sodium fluorescein.
4.Intraocular, strabismus, or palpebral surgery or surgery in the orbit or glaucoma laser surgery within the previous 6 months.
5.History of refractive surgery in either eye (e.g., radial keratotomy, PRK, LASIK, etc.).
6.Ocular trauma within the past 6 months.
7.Ocular surgery or laser treatment within the past 3 months.
8.Evidence of ocular abnormalities in either eye that could adversely affect the safety or efficacy outcome such as:
?Eyelid anomalies that affect proper lid closure or proper blink function (e.g., ectropion or entropion).
?Corneal disorders or abnormality such as active corneal ulcer, current corneal abrasion, keratoconus, or corneal dystrophies which are actively changing or affect vision.
?Metaplasia of the ocular surface.
?Current filamentous keratitis.
?Evidence of corneal neovascularization.
?Any history of herpes simplex or herpes zoster keratitis.
?Ocular infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal), inflammation not associated with dry eye such as uveitis, iritis, active blepharitis, active allergic conjunctivitis, etc., cystoid macular edema.
9.Ocular medication of any kind, with the exception of artificial tears/gels/lubricants within the past 2 weeks of screening. Note: a minimum 90-day washout period from use of Restasis® or Ikervis® will be required.
10.Use of systemic medication that might cause dryness in the eye as a secondary effect (such as antihistaminics, hormone replacing therapies, etc.).
11.Contact lens use within 2 weeks prior to screening visit and/or unwilling to avoid contact lens use during the course of the study.
12.Unwilling to avoid use of additional artificial tears (other than study treatments) throughout the study, starting at screening visit.
13.Participation in an investigational drug or device trial within the 30 days previous to screening visit.
14.Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry of either eye.
15.Central corneal thickness gr
