    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Tear Production [Baseline and 12 weeks]

      Percentage of Eyes with Increase from Baseline of ≥ 10 mm in Schirmer's Test Score

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Conjunctival Staining [Baseline and 12 weeks]

      change from baseline in total conjunctival staining score (lissamine green, modified National Eye Institute scale) at 12 weeks. Conjunctival Lissamine Green Staining Grades ranged from 0 (No punctate stain in zone) to 3 (Densely concentrated micropunctate stain spots)

    2. Central Corneal Staining [Baseline and 12 weeks]

      change from baseline in central corneal staining score (fluorescein, modified NEI/FDA scale) at 12 weeks. The Expanded National Eye Institute (NEI)/Industry Workshop Scale for Corneal Staining Score was used to grade each of the 5 areas of the cornea on a 0 (No punctate stain in area) to 4 (Severe diffuse (coalescent) macropunctate stain of the area) scale.

    3. Symptom Score [Baseline and 12 weeks]

      change from baseline in modified Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye (SANDE) score at 12 weeks. A modified SANDE instrument was used to evaluate dry eye symptoms at each visit. Subjects were asked to indicate: frequency of dry and irritated eyes on a scale of 0 (rarely) to 100 (all the time); and severity of dry eyes on a scale of 0 (very mild) to 100 (severe) The global symptom score is the square root of the frequency score times the severity score and will be completed at each visit. (range 0 to 100) Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    • Current active eye disease other than dry wyw syndrome (i.e., any disease for which topical or systemic ophthalmic medication is necessary).

    • History of herpes keratitis.
