Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Aged between 18 and 45 years old (including both endpoints); 2.Meets the diagnostic criteria for TFOS Dry Eye Diagnostic Methodology; and exhibits the following two signs in the same eye: Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score: 13–80; Non-invasive tear breakup time (NIBUT) < 10 seconds; If both eyes meet the criteria, include the eye with more severe objective signs, selecting the eye with the shorter NIBUT. 3.Willing and able to conscientiously complete the study according to the protocol requirements, including all scheduled visits during the study period. 4.Subjects voluntarily participated in this clinical trial and signed an informed consent form (ICF).
