Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of an Artificial Tear for the Treatment of Dry Eye (NCT NCT00514852)

NCT ID: NCT00514852

Last Updated: 2009-12-15

Results Overview

Ocular Surface Disease Index© Questionnaire Score is measured on 12 domains; a 5-point scale (0-4) for each domain. Sum of the domain scores is normalized to a severity scale of 0-100 (0 = no symptoms, 100 = maximum severity)
