Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Proportion of subjects with Complete Cure (Score 0) of Blepharitis Signs and Symptoms [Day 15 Visit]

    Proportion of subjects with Complete Cure (Score 0) in each of the following: Eyelid Margin Redness (0-none, 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe), Eyelid Debris (0-none, 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe), and Eyelid Discomfort (0-none, 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe) at the Day 15 Visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Eye Dryness Symptoms [Day 15 Visit]

    Mean change from baseline in the eye dryness symptoms using a visual analogue scale (0 = no discomfort to 100 = maximal discomfort)

  2. Eye Dryness Sign [Day 15 Visit]

    Mean change from baseline in fluorescein staining of the inferior cornea

  3. Treatment-emergent adverse events [28 days]

    Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
