1. Males or females ≥ 40 and ≤ 64 years of age.
2. BCDVA of 0.1 LogMAR (20/25 Snellen equivalent) or better in each eye in photopic conditions.
3. DCNVA of 0.4 LogMAR (20/50 Snellen equivalent) or worse but not > 0.7 LogMAR (20/100 Snellen equivalent) in photopic conditions in each eye and binocularly.
4. For subjects who depend on reading glasses or bifocals, binocular best-corrected near VA is 0.1 LogMAR (20/25 Snellen equivalent) or better.
5. Photopic PD of ≥ 3 mm in either eye.

Exclusion Criteria:

3. Current use of any topical ophthalmic therapy for dry eye.
4. Tear break-up time of \< 5 seconds or corneal fluorescein staining Grade ≥ 2 in the inferior zone or Grade ≥ 1 in the central zone using the National Eye Institute scale..
