To evaluate the tolerability and preliminary efficacy of Brimonidine eye drops (with and without corticosteroid eye drops) for the treatment of Dry Eye Disease (DED).
Subjects will assess their tolerance to the administration of the study drug, utilizing a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a 100-mm horizontal line with verbal descriptors at either end. The VAS ratings will be completed after administration of the study drug on Day 1 (post-dose), Day 28, Day 56, Day 84, and Day 105. Subjects will place a single slash mark across the horizontal line between the end labeled "completely intolerable" (0 mm) and "easily tolerable" (100mm).
