- Conjunctival Staining by Lissamine Green [ Time Frame: week 1, month 1 ]Percentage of cases of limbal staining by lissamine green at each point on a five point scale (0 = None, 1 = Trace, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe)
- Corneal Staining by Fluorescein [ Time Frame: week 1, month 1 ]Percentage of cases of limbal staining by sodium fluorescein at each point on a five point scale (0 = None, 1 = Trace, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe)
- Conjunctival Hyperaemia [ Time Frame: week 1, month 1 ]Percentage of conjunctival response reported in terms of limbal hyperaemia for the worst responses over the area at each point on a five point scale (0=clear/white conjunctiva, 1=slight redness, 2=Mild redness, 3=Moderate redness, 4=Severe redness)
- Ocular Comfort and Ocular Symptoms on Visual Analogue Scale [ Time Frame: week 1, month 1 ]Mean comfort judged on a 100 point visual analogue scale (0=Very Poor, 100=Excellent)
- Daily Eyedrop Usage [ Time Frame: Month 1 ]Average daily eyedrop use
- Lipid Layer Pattern Assessment [ Time Frame: Week 1, month 1 ]Lipid layer thickness as determined by lipid layer mixing pattern. A high mixing pattern = thick lipid layer.
