Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Systane Free to Saline in decreasing
the symptoms of dry eye after aggressive therapy. As a principal outcome measure, we are
using the modified Schein dry eye symptomatology questionaire to determine whether any
improvement in signs is mirrored by improvement in the Schein Score. Up to 30 dry eye
subjects will be dosed six times per day for one month. The typical clinical signs will be
onmitored (e.g., corneal staining) along with dyrness symptoms. The hypothesis is that an
optimized drop, Systane Free, will be more effective than saline solution in improving dry
eye signs and symptoms.
