Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Total Corneal Fluorescein Staining at Day 29

    Time frame: baseline and 1 month [day 29]

    CFS was assessed in each eye using the National Eye Institute (NEI) scale.

    A standardized grading system of 0-3 is used for each of the five areas on each cornea. Grade 0 will be specified when no staining is present. The maximum total score for each eye is 15. Higher values describe greater staining and corneal damage.

  2. Change From Baseline in Ocular Surface Disease Index at Day 29

    Time frame: baseline and 1 month [day 29]

    The OSDI score is a composite measure built on 12 questions,with totals ranging from 0 to 100, and higher scores representing a worse disease index.
