Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Absolute value of the J-OSDI total score (Dry eye disease specific questionnaire) at 4 weeks after treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Lacrimal secretion (Schirmer test), at 4 weeks after treatment Tear film breakup time, at 4 weeks after treatment Kerato-conjunctival vital staining score, at 4 weeks after treatment Maximum blink interval, at 4 weeks after treatment Meibomian gland function, at 4 weeks after treatment J-OSDI total score (baseline, 8 weeks after treatment, 12 weeks after treatment, 25 after treatmentt) based on the J-OSDI (dry eye disease-specific questionnaire) Tear secretion volume (Schirmer's test) (baseline and at each evaluation point) Tear film breakup time (baseline and at each evaluation point) Kerato-conjunctival vital staining score (baseline, at each evaluation point) Maximum blink interval (baseline, at each evaluation point) Meibomian gland function (baseline and at each assessment point) and the change at each assessment point from the baseline for each item We will also evaluate whether the patient meets the dry eye diagnostic criteria for dry eye recurrence at 25 weeks.
