Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Fluorescein Corneal Staining (FCS) Score From Baseline to Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)baseline, 12 weeks

FCS indicates the damage to the corneal epithelium. Per the National Eye Institute/Industry Workshop report, the cornea was divided into 5 fractions, each of which was given a staining score from 0 to 3, and the total score was calculated (0-15). 0 is better. The change from baseline (CFB) to LOCF at the end of instillation (LOCF endpoint) was used to analyze dose-response. A general linear model was used to examine if slope parameters were not equal to zero.

Change in Primary Ocular Discomfort (POD) Score From Baseline to Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)Baseline, 12 weeks

POD indicates the ocular symptom most bothersome to the patient. POD selected by each patient from among the following ocular symptoms; Foreign body sensation, Dryness, Photophobia, Eye pain and Blurred vision. POD was scored from 0 through 4; a score of 0 indicated no symptoms and a score of 4 indicated very severe symptoms. 0 is better. The change from baseline (CFB) to LOCF at the end of instillation (LOCF endpoint) was used to analyze dose-response. A general linear model was used to examine if slope parameters were not equal to zero.
