4. Have a history of use or desire to use eye drops for dry eye symptoms within 6 months of Visit 1;

5. Have a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.7 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) or better (Snellen equivalent score of 20/100 or better) in each eye at Visit 1;

6. Have a score of ≥ 2 for both eyes according to the Ora Calibra® Ocular Discomfort & 4- Symptom Questionnaire in at least one of the dry eye symptoms at Visits 1 and 2;

7. Have an unanesthetized Schirmer's Test score of ≤ 10 mm/5 minutes and ≥ 1 mm/5 minutes in at least one eye at Visits 1 and 2;

8. Have a corneal fluorescein staining score of ≥ 2 according to the Ora Calibra® Corneal and Conjunctival Staining Scale for Grading of Fluorescein Staining in at least one region in one eye at Visits 1 and 2 and a central score ≥ 1 in the same eye;

9. Have a conjunctival redness score ≥ 1 according to the Ora Calibra® Conjunctival Redness for Dry Eye Scale in at least one eye at Visits 1 and 2 pre-CAE®;

10. Demonstrate in the same eye(s) a response to the CAE® at Visits 1 and 2 as defined by:

• Having at least a ≥1 point increase in fluorescein staining in the inferior region in at least one eye following CAE® exposure; a. Reporting an Ocular Discomfort score ≥ 3 at 2 or more consecutive time points in at least one eye during CAE® exposure (if a subject has an Ocular Discomfort rating of 3 at time = 0 for an eye, s/he must report an Ocular Discomfort rating of 4 for two consecutive measurements for that eye). Note: a subject cannot have an Ocular Discomfort score of 4 at time = 0);

11. Have at least one eye, the same eye, satisfy all criteria for 8, 9, 10 and 11 above;

12.

For non-sexually active females, abstinence may be regarded as an adequate method of birth control.)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Individuals who meet any of the following exclusion criteria will not be eligible to participate in the study: 0. Have any clinically significant slit lamp findings at Visit 1 that may include active blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, lid margin inflammation, or active ocular allergies that require therapeutic treatment, and/or in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with study parameters;

1. Be diagnosed with an ongoing ocular infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal), or active ocular inflammation at Visit 1;

2. Have worn contact lenses within 7 days of Visit 1 or anticipate using contact lenses during the study;

3. Have previously had laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery within the last 12 months;

4. Have used Restasis®, Xiidra®, or Cequa®, Eysuvis™ and Tyrvaya™ within 60 days of Visit 1;

5. Have had any ocular and/or lid surgeries in the past 6 months or have any planned ocular and/or lid surgeries over the study period;

• Antihistamines (including ocular): 72 hours prior to Visit 1

1. Oral aspirin or aspirin-containing products allowed if dose has been stable over past 30 days prior to Visit 1 and no change in dose is anticipated during the study period

2. Corticosteroids or mast cell stabilizers (including ocular): 14 days prior to Visit 1

3. Any medication (oral or topical) known to cause ocular drying that has not been administered as a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to Visit 1 and during the study

4. All other topical ophthalmic preparations (including artificial tear substitutes) other than the study drops: 72 hours prior to Visit 1

8. Have an uncontrolled systemic disease;

9. Be a woman who is pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy;

10. Be unwilling to submit a urine pregnancy test at Visit 1 and Visit 6 (or early termination visit) if of childbearing potential.
