Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Fluorescein staining in the following regions: central, superior, inferior, temporal, nasal, corneal sum, conjunctival sum, and total eye score [Days 15, 43 and 85]
The staining will be graded with a Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale. The scale is a 5 point scale from 0 (no staining) to 4 (confluent).
- Ocular discomfort and dry eye symptoms [Days 15, 43 and 85]
Subjects will rate the severity of each of the following symptoms, with regard to how both their eyes feel, in general - overall ocular discomfort, burning, dryness, grittiness and stinging according to the following 6-point (0 to 5) scale where 0 = none and 5 = worst.
- Lissamine green staining in the following regions: central, superior, inferior, temporal, nasal, corneal sum, conjunctival sum, and total eye score [Days 15, 43 and 85]
The staining will be graded with a Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale. The scale is a 5 point scale from 0 (no staining) to 4 (confluent).
- Tear film break-up time (TFBUT) [Days 15, 43 and 85]
With the aid of a slit-lamp, the examiner will monitor the integrity of the tear film, noting the time it takes to form micelles from the time that the eye is opened. TFBUT will be measured in seconds using a stopwatch and a digital image recording system for the right eye followed by the left eye. For each eye, 2 measurements will be taken and averaged unless the 2 measurements are > 2 seconds apart and are each < 10 seconds, in which case, a third measurement would be taken and the 2 closest of the 3 would be averaged.
- Conjunctival Redness [Days 15, 43 and 85 and mean change from Day 1 to Day 85]
Conjunctival Redness at Visits 3, 4 (pre-CAE, post-CAE, and pre- to post- CAE), and 5 (pre-CAE, post-CAE, and pre- to post-CAE), and mean change from baseline Visit 2 (Day 1) pre-CAE to Visit 5 (Day 85) pre-CAE
- Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)© [Days 15, 43 and 85]
Subjects will complete the OSDI© questionnaire. The OSDI© is assessed on a scale of 0 to 100.
- Schirmer's test [Days 15, 43 and 85]
- Ocular discomfort during CAE [Days 43 and 85]
- Daily Diary Symptom Score [Daily Diary completed from Day 1 through Day 85]

-
Have a Schirmer's Test score of ≤10mm and ≥1mm in at least one eye at Visits 1and 2
-
Have a pre-CAE conjunctival redness score ≥ 1 according to the Conjunctival Redness for Dry Eye Scale in at least one eye at Visits 1 and 2
-
Have a corneal fluorescein staining score of ≥ 2 in at least one region (e.g. inferior, superior, or central) at Visits 1 and 2
-
Have a sum corneal fluorescein staining score of ≥ 4, based on the sum of the inferior, superior, and central regions at Visits 1 and 2

-
Having at least a ≥1 point increase in fluorescein staining in the inferior region in at least one eye following CAE exposure
-
Reporting an Ocular Discomfort Score ≥3 at 2 or more consecutive time points in at least one eye during CAE exposure (if a subject has an ocular discomfort rating of 3 at time = 0 for an eye, s/he must report an ocular discomfort rating of 4 for two consecutive measurements for that eye) Note: a subject cannot have an ocular discomfort score of 4 at time = 0)
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Have any clinically significant slit lamp findings at Visit 1 that may include active blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, ocular rosacea, lid margin inflammation or active ocular allergies that require therapeutic treatment
