PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 29

Worst dry eye symptom (as determined from subject diary data recorded during the 1-week run-in period) evaluated over the seven days preceding Day 29 during the treatment period. The scale was on a 0-5 range where 0= no symptoms and 5= worst symptoms measured for a number of dry eye symptoms.
