What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in total corneal fluorescein staining (CFS)

    Corneal Fluorescein Staining (tCFS) is graded based on a modified National Eye Institute (NEI) scale. The NEI scale divides the cornea in 5 regions: central, inferior, superior, nasal, temporal. The score for each region ranges from 0-4 using 0.5 unit increments; 0 corresponds to no staining, 4 corresponds to maximum staining. The total score is the sum of the 5 regions ranging from 0-20.

    Time frame: 12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in eye dryness via the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Eye dryness is rated on a visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0-100; 0 corresponds to no symptoms and 100 to severe symptoms.

    Time frame: 12 Weeks

  2. Change from baseline in lissamine green conjunctival staining (LGCS)

    Lissamine green conjunctival staining (LGCS) is graded based on the NEI Scale. The NEI scale divides the conjunctiva in 6 regions with the score for each region ranging from 0-3; 0 corresponds to no staining, 3 corresponds to maximum staining. The total score is the sum of the 6 regions ranging from 0-18.

    Time frame: 12 Weeks

  3. Change from baseline in bulbar conjunctival hyperemia (CCLRU)

    Bulbar conjunctival hyperemia is graded based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit (CCLRU) grading scale where 0 corresponds to none, 4 corresponds to severe.

    Time frame: 12 Weeks
