  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. NIBUT in Seconds [18 Weeks]

      Non-Invasive Break Up Time

    2. Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire [18 Weeks]

      Total 12 questions will be asked, ranked between 0-100. 0 being no dry eye symptoms and 100 severe dry eye symptoms.

    3. SAFETY, number of AEs [18 Weeks]

      Any safety related event during the study will be recorded and analyzed

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Topography mm D [18 Weeks]

      Topography with K readings

    2. Slit Lamp Exam; Normal, Abnormal [18 Weeks]

      Multiple Slit Lamp tests

    3. Standardized Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) Questionnaire [18 Weeks]

      Assessment of the frequency and severity of dry eye symptoms. scored 0 to 28; 0 being no dry eye symptoms and 28 severe dry eye symptoms.

    4. Lid margin profile [18 Weeks]

      Lid margin profile

    5. Tear Sampling Analysis [18 Weeks]

      ocular tear biomarkers

    6. Staining; Total Ocular Staining Score [18 Weeks]

      Corneal staining fluorescein and conjunctival/lid margin staining lissamine green
