A minimum score of 1 should be present for discharge and a minimum score of 1 for either bulbar or palpebral conjunctival injection. * Must have pinholed visual acuity equal to or better than 20/200 in both eyes. Age appropriate visual acuity testing was to be performed. Every effort was made to obtain a visual acuity measurement in children. If visual acuity was unobtainable in children, it was at the investigator's discretion to meet inclusion criteria. * Must be willing to discontinue contact lens wear for the duration of the study. * Must be willing to avoid disallowed medications during the study period. * Must understand the scope of the study including completion of diary, be willing to follow instructions, and be able to make all required study visits. * If a subject was a female of childbearing potential, she must utilize reliable contraceptive methods and have a negative pregnancy test.
