Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in the Total Corneal Staining Score With Fluorescein in the Worse Eye

Total corneal staining with fluorescein was measured in the worse eye using the Ora Calibra™ (Scale 1.0) 5-point scale where 0= none (best), no staining to 4=severe staining (worst). The sum of the total includes 3 regions of the cornea, resulting in a maximum possible score of 12 (severe staining score of 4 in all three regions). The worse eye is defined as the worst eye at Baseline. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement).

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Change From Baseline in the Total Conjunctival Staining Score With Fluorescein in the Worse Eye

Total conjunctival staining with fluorescein was measured in the worse eye using the Ora Calibra™ (Scale 1.0) 5-point scale where 0= none (best), no staining to 4=severe staining (worst). The sum of the total includes 2 regions of the conjunctiva, resulting in a maximum possible score of 8 (severe staining score of 4 in both regions). The worse eye is defined as the worst eye at Baseline. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement).

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Change From Baseline in the Central Region Staining Score With Fluorescein in the Worse Eye

Staining with fluorescein in the central region of the eye was measured in the worse eye using the Ora Calibra™ (Scale 1.0) 5-point scale where 0= none (best), no staining to 4=severe staining (worst). The worse eye is defined as the worst eye at Baseline. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement).

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Change From Baseline in the Total Corneal Staining Score With Lissamine Green in the Worse Eye

Total corneal staining with lissamine green was measured in the worse eye using the Ora Calibra™ (Scale 1.0) 5-point scale where 0= none (best), no staining to 4=severe staining (worst). The sum of the total includes 3 regions of the cornea, resulting in a maximum possible score of 12 (severe staining score of 4 in all three regions). The worse eye is defined as the worst eye at Baseline. A negative change from Baseline represents a decrease in staining (improvement).

Secondary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Tear Film Break Up Time (TFBUT) in the Worse Eye

TFBUT is defined as the time required for dry spots to appear on the surface of the eye after blinking. The longer it takes, the more stable the tear film. The worse eye is defined as the Worse Eye at Baseline. A positive number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a negative number change from Baseline indicates a worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Change From Baseline in Ocular Protection Index (OPI) 2.0 in the Worse Eye

A device was used to assess OPI 2.0. This technology measures blink and tear film break-up area. These values demonstrate the average area of tear deficiency/corneal exposure. The worse eye is defined as the worse eye at Baseline. A negative value indicates an improvement in corneal protection.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Change From Baseline in Interblink Interval (IBI) in the Worst Eye

A device was used to assess IBI. The IBI measures the time in seconds between blinks in the worse eye. A positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening (more frequent blinks) and a negative number change from baseline (less frequent blinks) indicates an improvement.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Change From Baseline in OSDI© Total Score

The OSDI© questionnaire consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. Each of the 12 questions was assessed using a 5-point scale (where 0=none of the time and 4=all of the time). The score is converted to a 0 to 100 point score where 0 is no symptoms and 100 is most symptoms. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

The OSDI© consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The Driving at Night question was assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time to 4=all of the time). Higher OSDI© scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from Baseline indicates worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

The OSDI© consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The Working with a Computer or Bank Machine question was assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time to 4=all of the time). Higher OSDI© scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from Baseline indicates worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

The OSDI© consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The Watching TV question was assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time to 4=all of the time). Higher OSDI© scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from Baseline indicates worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

The OSDI© consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The Blurred Vision question was assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time to 4=all of the time). Higher OSDI© scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from Baseline indicates worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

The OSDI© consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The Poor Vision question was assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time to 4=all of the time). Higher OSDI© scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from Baseline indicates worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

The OSDI© consists of 12 questions measuring the presence of ocular symptoms. The Reading question was assessed using a 5-point scale (0=none of the time to 4=all of the time). Higher OSDI© scores are associated with greater severity. A negative number change from Baseline indicates improvement and a positive number change from Baseline indicates worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Change From Baseline in the Ocular Discomfort Scale Post Wilkins Test in the Worst Eye

Participants assessed ocular discomfort post Wilkins Rate of Reading Test using the Ora Calibra™ 5-point scale where 0=no discomfort to 4=constant discomfort. A positive number change from Baseline indicates a worsening and a negative number change from Baseline indicates an improvement.
