Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Travoprost	Travoprost ophthalmic solution 0.004% with SofZia® preservative system (TRAVATAN Z®)	One drop self-administered in the study eye(s) once daily for 90 days
Latanoprost	Latanoprost ophthalmic solution 0.005% (XALATAN®)	One drop self-administered in the study eye(s) once daily for 90 days

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Mean Change at Day 90 From Baseline (Day 0) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score	Baseline, Day 90	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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of Patients With Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score = 0	Day 90	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.
