Tear Production
Percentage of Eyes with Increase from Baseline of ≥ 10 mm in Schirmer's Test Score
Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks
Conjunctival Staining
change from baseline in total conjunctival staining score (lissamine green, modified National Eye Institute scale) at 12 weeks. Conjunctival Lissamine Green Staining Grades ranged from 0 (No punctate stain in zone) to 3 (Densely concentrated micropunctate stain spots)
Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks
Central Corneal Staining
change from baseline in central corneal staining score (fluorescein, modified NEI/FDA scale) at 12 weeks. The Expanded National Eye Institute (NEI)/Industry Workshop Scale for Corneal Staining Score was used to grade each of the 5 areas of the cornea on a 0 (No punctate stain in area) to 4 (Severe diffuse (coalescent) macropunctate stain of the area) scale.
Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks
Symptom Score
change from baseline in modified Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) score at 12 weeks. A modified SANDE instrument was used to evaluate dry eye symptoms at each visit. Subjects were asked to indicate: 1. frequency of dry and irritated eyes on a scale of 0 (rarely) to 100 (all the time); and 2. severity of dry eyes on a scale of 0 (very mild) to 100 (severe) The global symptom score is the square root of the frequency score times the severity score and will be completed at each visit. (range 0 to 100) Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks
