Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: To be enrolled in this study, patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria at both screening and randomization: 1. Age >=18 years old; 2. Signed written informed consent; 3. At the time of the screening visit (visit 0), the patient had complained of dry eye symptoms for at least 6 months; 4. If artificial tears were used to relieve dry eye symptoms within 30 days prior to use of the device, stop using them 72 hours before use; 5. At interview 0 and interview 1, OSDI score >=13; 6. During interview 0 and interview 1, tear film rupture time (BUT) =5 mm under non-anesthetic state; 8. When visiting 0 and 1, MGD total score >=3; Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) scoring criteria: The secretion of 5 central glands of the lower eyelid was assessed, with a score of 0-3 for each gland; 0= normal, 1= thick/yellow, white, granular; 2= mushy; 3= none/block; Total score 0-15 points; 9. At the time of visit 0 and visit 1, at least one eye (the same eye) meets all conditions of 5, 6, 7 and 8 above; 10. Are not using any treatment devices or medications known to cause dry eye.
