Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients whose corneal fluorescein staining score (ICSS) decreased by ≥1 point from baseline at visit 5 (study eye)

    Time frame: 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 outcomes

  1. EDS score at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline EDS score (binocular)

    Time frame: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

    0-100 points VAS score was evaluated

  2. 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)

    Time frame: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

    0-100 points VAS score was evaluated

  3. corneal fluorescein staining score (ICSS)at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    Time frame: 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

  4. oxford score at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    Time frame: 14 days after admission ,42 days after admission ,84days days after admission

    0~V grade was evaluated

  5. Tear break-up time(BUT) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    Time frame: 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

  6. Schirmer's II test (with anesthetic) at the NO.3, NO.4 and NO.5 visit was compared with the baseline (binocular)

    Time frame: 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
