Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change at Day 90 From Baseline (Day 0) in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) ScoreDay 0, Day 90

The OSDI is a 12-question validated questionnaire (resultant overall 0-100 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. A negative number represents a perceived improvement in ocular health.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients With Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score = 0Day 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 tht total number of patients analyzed.
