3. Females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy or who are of childbearing potential and not using a reliable method of contraception
4. Current enrollment in an investigational drug or device study or participation in such a study within 30 days of entry into this study at day 1 (baseline)
5. Schirmer test (with anesthesia) ≤ 2 mm in either eye at day 1 (baseline)
6. Anticipated contact lens wear during the study, or subject has worn contact lenses in the last 3 months, prior to day 1 (baseline)
7. Any scheduled or planned ocular or systemic surgery or procedure during the study which in the investigator’s opinion may impact the subject’s study participation
8. Corneal or conjunctival staining grade of 5 (Oxford Scheme, grade range = 0 to 5) at day 1 (baseline) in any one zone of either eye
9. The start date of any systemic medication (including over-the-counter, herbal, prescription, or nutritional supplements) which may affect dry eye or vision is < 3 months prior to day 1 (baseline) or a change in dosage is anticipated during the study
10. Presence of one or more of the following ocular conditions:
active ocular infection or non-keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) ocular inflammation
• active ocular allergy
• history of recurrent herpes keratitis or active disease within 6 months prior to day 1 (baseline)
• corneal disorder or abnormality that affects corneal sensitivity or normal spreading of the tear film (except superficial punctuate keratitis)
• severe blepharitis or obvious inflammation of the lid margin which in the judgment of the investigator, may interfere with the interpretation of the study results
• KCS secondary to the destruction of conjunctival goblet cells such as occurs with vitamin A deficiency or scarring such as that with cicatricial pemphigoid, alkali burns, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, trachoma, or irradiation
• substantial non-KCS keratitis with overlying corneal stain or other significant corneal findings not directly related to dry eye. Also, subjects with dry eye signs/symptoms (eg, filamentary keratitis) of a severity where topical monotherapy with an artificial tear would be inappropriate
11. Occlusion of the lacrimal puncta, for either eye, with punctal plugs or cauterization < 3 months prior to day 1 (baseline)
12. History of ocular/ophthalmic surgery or trauma which could affect corneal sensitivity and/or tear distribution (eg, cataract surgery, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis [LASIK], photorefractive keratectomy or any surgery involving a limbal or corneal incision) within 6 months prior to day 1 (baseline)
13. Subjects cannot enroll if currently using topical ocular medication, or have used topical ocular medication within 2 weeks of enrollment. Exceptions: subjects can be considered who are being bilaterally treated with ONE of the following:
• monotherapy for glaucoma or OHT using a prostaglandin analog, beta blocker OR Alpha-2 agonist
• RESTASIS Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion
14. Subjects who have discontinued use of RESTASIS Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion ≤ 3 months prior to day 1 (baseline)
15. Subjects who have changed the dose of or medication for the treatment of glaucoma or OHT within ≤ 3 months prior to day 1 (baseline) or a change in dosage is anticipated during the study
16. Subject has a direct relationship with the investigator or investigational site staff, including but not limited to family members, employees, or students
17. Subject has a condition or is in a situation which in the investigator's opinion may put the subject at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation in the study |
