Change From Baseline in Inferior Corneal Staining Change From Pre-CAE®(Controlled Adverse Environment) to Post-CAE® at Day 15 (Visit 4) Using the Ora Calibra® Scale
Inferior corneal staining was assessed using the Ora Calibra® Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale, which is a 0 to 4 scale and where higher numbers indicating more severe staining.
Time frame: Day 15
Change From Baseline in Ocular Discomfort at Day 15 (Visit 4) Pre-CAE® Using the Ora Calibra® Ocular Discomfort & 4-Symptom Questionnaire
The severity of ocular discomfort was measured using the Ora Calibra® Ocular Discomfort \& 4-Symptom Questionnaire which is a 0 to 5 scale and where higher numbers indicating more severe discomfort.
Time frame: Day 15
Fluorescein Staining (Ora Calibra® Scale) at Visits 3 and 4 (Change From Pre-CAE® to Post-CAE®, Pre and Post-CAE®)
Corneal and conjunctival staining were assessed using the Ora Calibra® Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale, which is a 0 to 20 scale and where higher numbers indicating more severe staining.
Time frame: Day 8, Day 15
Lissamine Green Staining (Ora Calibra® Scale) at Visits 3 and 4 (Change From Pre-CAE® to Post-CAE®, Pre- and Post-CAE®)
Lissamine green staining were assessed using the Ora Calibra® Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale, which is a 0 to 20 scale and where higher numbers indicating more severe staining.
Time frame: Day 8, Day 15
Tear Film Break-Up Time (TFBUT©) at Visits 3 and 4 (Pre- and Post-CAE®)
TFBUT© measures tear film stability and was assessed by measuring, in seconds, the time from eye opening to the formation of micelles in the tear film. Measurements were obtained using a stopwatch. Longer TFBUT values indicate greater tear film stability and less severe dry eye.

Unanesthetized Schirmer's Test at Visit 3, Visit 4 (Pre-CAE®)
The Unanesthetized Schirmer's Test measures tear production. A sterile Schirmer test strip was placed in the lower temporal lid margin of each eye, and after 5 minutes, the length of the moistened area on the strip was recorded in millimeters (mm). Higher values indicate greater tear production and a better outcome.
Time frame: Day 8, Day 15
Drop Comfort Assessment After Randomization at Visit 2
Drop comfort for each eye was assessed using subject-reported drop comfort scale, which is a 0 to 10 scale and where higher numbers indicating more uncomfortable.
Time frame: Day 1
Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)© at Visits 3 and 4 (Pre-CAE®)
The severity of dry eye disease and its impact on vision-related function were measured using the Ocular Surface Disease Index. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disability.
Time frame: Day 8, Day 15
Ocular Discomfort & 4-Symptom Questionnaire at Visits 3 and 4 (Change From Pre-CAE® to Post-CAE®, Pre- and Post-CAE®), Excluding the Hierarchical Efficacy Measure
The severity of 5 symptoms was measured using the Ora Calibra® Ocular Discomfort \& 4-Symptom Questionnaire which is a 0 to 5 scale and where higher numbers indicating more severe discomfort.
Time frame: Day 8, Day 15
Ocular Discomfort Outside CAE® at Visits 3 and 4 (Change From Pre-CAE® to Post-CAE®, Pre- and Post-CAE®)
Subjects' perceived severity of ocular discomfort was measured using the Ocular Discomfort Scale which is a 0 to 4 scale and where higher numbers indicating more severe discomfort.
Time frame: Day 8, Day 15
Ocular Discomfort During CAE® at Visit 4
Subjects' perceived severity of ocular discomfort during CAE® exposure was measured using the Ocular Discomfort Scale which is a 0 to 4 scale and where higher numbers indicating more severe discomfort.
Time frame: Day 15
