Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Bulbar Conjunctival HyperemiaBaseline to Week 12

Bulbar conjunctival hyperemia will be assessed using an ordered categorical value ranging from 0 (Clear) to 4 (Severe). Hyperemia is graded on the following scale and half scores are acceptable:

None (0) = normal Mild (1) = slight localized injection Moderate (2) = pink color Severe (3) = red color Very Severe (4) = marked dark redness

Change in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)Baseline to Week 12

OSDI is calculated based following formula using 12-question Ocular Surface Disease questionnaire (with each question scored 0-4):

OSDI = (D/E)x25, where D = Sum of all scores for questions answered E = Total number of questions answered (not including questions answered NA)

Range of OSDI is 0 to 100 (higher score indicates worse condition).
