- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia at Visit 4 (Day 15) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 4 (Day 15) ]Comparison of mean change from baseline for bulbar conjunctival hyperemia in the study eye between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-4 grading scale. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

- Proportion of Subjects With ≥ 1 Unit Improvement From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Bulbar Conjunctival Hyperemia Worst Region at Visit 4 (Day 15) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 4 (Day 15) ]Proportion of subjects with ≥1 improvement from baseline in conjunctival hyperemia scores in the study eye. The grading scale was based on the Cornea and Contact Lens Research Unit Grading Scale where 0 = none, 1 = very slight, 2 = slight, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.
- Change From Baseline/ Visit 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores at Visit 3 (Day 8) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 3 (Day 8) ]Comparison of ocular discomfort scores between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse using 3-day mean scores.
- Change From Baseline/Week 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Scores to Day 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Day 4 ]Comparison of mean ocular discomfort between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.
- Change From Baseline/Week 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Severity at Visit 4 (Day 15) in a Subgroup [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 4 (Day 15) ]Comparison of mean ocular discomfort between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse, in a sub-group of participants with more severe ocular discomfort at baseline, using 3 day means.
- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores at Day 3 (Diary) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Day 3 ]Comparison of mean ocular discomfort severity between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.
- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Eye Dryness Scores at Visit 4 (Day 15) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 4 (Day 15) ]Comparison of mean eye dryness between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.
- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Eye Dryness Scores at Visit 3 (Day 8) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 3 (Day 8) ]Comparison of mean eye dryness between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.
- Ocular Discomfort Severity Scores on Day 2 (Diary) Minus Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Day 1 ]Comparison of mean ocular discomfort between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.
- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Ocular Discomfort Frequency Scores at Visit 4 (Day 15) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 4 (Day 15) ]Comparison of mean ocular discomfort frequency between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.
- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Subject-rated Ocular Discomfort Frequency Scores at Visit 3 (Day 8) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 3 (Day 8) ]Comparison of mean ocular discomfort frequency between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using a 0-100 visual analog grading scale where 0 was better and 100 was worse.
- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Inferior Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score at Visit 4 (Day 15) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 4 (Day 15) ]Comparison of mean corneal fluorescein staining in the study eye between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using methods developed by the National Eye Institute (NEI) Dry Eye Workshop in evaluating 5 regions of the cornea (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal and central) using a 0-3 grading scale, where 0 = no visible staining, 1 = Mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe.
- Change From Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) in Nasal Corneal Fluorescein Staining Score at Visit 4 (Day 15) [ Time Frame: Baseline/Visit 2 (Day 1) - Visit 4 (Day 15) ]Comparison of mean nasal corneal fluorescein staining in the study eye between the KPI-121 0.25% ophthalmic suspension group and the vehicle group using methods developed by the National Eye Institute (NEI) Dry Eye Workshop in evaluating 5 regions of the cornea (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal and central) using a 0-3 grading scale, where 0 = no visible staining, 1 = Mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe.
