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.
