OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Day 85 visit

Population: The analysis eye is defined as the eye that meets all eligibility criteria and was randomized per protocol

For each of the 15 glands expressed, meibomian gland secretion characteristics were graded via slit lamp examination on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=worst, 3=best). Total meibomian gland secretion score is the sum of the grades for all 15 glands with a range from 0 to 45
