Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Ocular Comfort	1-Week Follow-up	Ocular comfort was measured using the visual analogue scale of 0 to 100. Where 0 is extremely uncomfortable and 100 is extremely comfortable.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Subjective Dryness Rating	1-Week Follow-up	Subjective dryness was assessed using Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI©) instrument. Dryness is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate more symptoms of dryness
