Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Goblet Cell Density (GCD)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	the cells will be measured per square millimeter, it is a continuous variable taken by means of cytology per impression, the normal value is higher than 500 cells per square millimeter

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Conjunctival Hyperemia (CH)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	Conjunctival hyperemia will be evaluated as an ordinal variable, by direct observation and staged using the Efron scale as Normal / Very mild / Mild / Moderate / Severe. Based on this scale, the normal and mild stages are considered without pathologies or normal. Moderate and severe are considered pathological.
Presence of Adverse Events (AEs)	during the 13 days of evaluation, including the safety call (day 13).	the adverse events will be evaluated with a scale of Present / Absent, it is a nominal variable, the normal value is absent.
Intraocular Pressure (IOP)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	the intraocular pressure will be evaluated by means of the Goldman applanation tonometry whose unit of measurement is millimeters of mercury (mmHg), it is a continuous variable and its normality range is between 11 - 21 mmHg
Epithelial Defects (ED)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	The epithelial defects will be evaluated by means of two stains, green lysine and fluorescein, it is a discrete variable that will be realized by direct observation, it will be staged according to the degrees of the oxford scale that go from 0 to 5 (0-V) according to its severity, where 0 is the normal lower limit and 5 the upper limit of defects.
Breakup Time (BUT)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	breakup time lacrimal film is a continuous variable that will be measured in seconds, evaluating the time it takes to break it, is done by direct counting and the normality range and mayor to 10 seconds.
Chemosis	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	The chemosis will be evaluated, as a nominal variable, by direct observation and it will be staged as present and absent, where the normality is that said variable is absent.
Ocular Burning (OB)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	ocular burning is a nominal variable that will be evaluated by direct questioning to the research subject, then it will be staged according to the following scale: Severity: Absent, very mild, mild, moderate and severe, where the normality of severity is absent.Frequency: At all times, almost at all times, 50% of the time, almost in no time, at any time. where the normality of the frequency is in no time.
Foreign Body Sensation (FBS)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	Foreign body sensation is a nominal variable that will be evaluated by direct questioning to the research subject, then it will be staged according to the following scale: Severity: Absent, very mild, mild, moderate and severe, where the normality of severity is absent. Frequency: At all times, almost at all times, 50% of the time, almost in no time, at any time. where the normality of the frequency is in no time.
Ocular Pruritus (P)	will be evaluated at the end of the treatment at the final visit (day 10)	Ocular pruritus is a nominal variable that will be evaluated by direct questioning to the research subject, then it will be staged according to the following scale: Severity: Absent, very mild, mild, moderate and severe, where the normality of severity is absent. Frequency: At all times, almost at all times, 50% of the time, almost in no time, at any time. where the normality of the frequency is in no time.
