    Arm 2

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Active Comparator

    Arm Label

    Systane Ultra

    Optive

    Arm Description

    Systane® ULTRA lubricant eyedrops, 1 drop in each eye 4 times a day for 35 days (Phase I), followed by 55 days additional use as needed (Phase II).

    OPTIVE® lubricating eyedrops, 1 drop in each eye 4 times a day for 35 days (Phase I), followed by 55 days additional use as needed (Phase II).

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Mean Change From Baseline in Total Ocular Surface Staining (TOSS) Score at Day 35 (Phase I)
    The TOSS score is a composite score of corneal fluorescein staining, nasal conjunctival lissamine green staining, and temporal conjunctival lissamine green staining, each scored on a 0-5 Likert scale (0=absent, 5=severe). TOSS scores can range from 0 to 15. One eye (study eye) contributed to the analysis.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Mean Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) Score at Day 35 (Phase I)
    The OSDI is a 12-item, quality of life questionnaire that evaluates symptoms based on 3 modules (type of discomfort, environmental triggers, and tasking) on a 0-4 Likert scale (0=None of the time, 4=All of the time). A resultant overall 0-100 score was calculated, where 0=No disability and 100=Complete disability. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.
    Mean Impact of Dry Eye on Everyday Life (IDEEL) Treatment Effectiveness Score at Day 35 (Phase I)
    The IDEEL is a 10-item, patient-reported questionnaire used to measure treatment satisfaction. The subject answered 4 questions pertaining to treatment effectiveness scored on a 0-4 Likert-type scale, where 0=None of the time, 1=A little of the time, 2=Some of the time, 3=Most of the time, and 4=All of the time. The IDEEL score for treatment effectiveness was calculated based upon the mean value of the 4 questions multiplied by 25, for a resultant overall score of 0-100, where 0=Complete disability and 100=No disability. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.
    Mean Impact of Dry Eye on Everyday Life (IDEEL) Treatment Inconvenience Score at Day 35 (Phase I)
    The IDEEL is a 10-item, patient-reported questionnaire used to measure treatment satisfaction. The subject answered 4 questions pertaining to treatment inconvenience scored on a 0-4 Likert-type scale, where 0=All of the time, 1=Most of the time, 2=Some of the time, 3=A little of the time, and 4=None of the time. The IDEEL score for treatment inconvenience was calculated based upon the mean value of the 4 questions multiplied by 25, for a resultant overall score of 0-100, where 0=Complete disability and 100=No disability. Both eyes contributed to the analysis.
