Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients whose corneal fluorescein staining score (ICSS) decreased by ≥1 point from baseline at visit 5 (study eye)84 days after admission

ICSS:no staining = 0,few/rare punctate lesions = 1,discrete and countable lesions = 2,lesions too numerous to count,but not coalescent = 3,coalescent = 4

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
corneal fluorescein staining score (ICSS)at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

ICSS:no staining = 0,few/rare punctate lesions = 1,discrete and countable lesions = 2,lesions too numerous to count,but not coalescent = 3,coalescent = 4

oxford score at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

0\~V grade was evaluated

EDS score at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline EDS score (binocular)14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

0-100 points VAS score was evaluated

Average changes in VAS scores of 6 dry eye symptoms (burning/needling sensation, pruritus, foreign body sensation, discomfort, photophobia and pain) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit were compared with baseline (binocular)14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

0-100 points VAS score was evaluated

Tear break-up time(BUT) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)14 days after admission,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

The time taken for the first dry spot to appear on the cornea after a complete blink with fluorescein

Schirmer's II test (with anesthetic) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

Basal tear secretion with topical anesthesia, determined by the moisture length on the filter paper in 5 minutes
