Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the results of the treatment of patients with dry eye due to aqueous, mixed or evaporative deficiency after using Systane Complete with a reduced frequency of 2 times a day. This assessment wil be carried out by questioning Ocular Surface Disease Index symptoms after 14 days and 28 days of using Systane Complete in patients with dry eye.It is expected that administration reduced to twice a day will be beneficial in improving the symptoms of dry eye subtypes. | — |
