On average, subjects reported a 10-point decrease in OSDI score on Day 14 (from 37 to 27) and a further improvement of 5 points on Day 30 (22). A similar response was seen with the EIQ, where subjects showed a 20.5-point decrease over 30 days (from 39 to 18.5). Corneal and conjunctival staining was also reduced over 30 days (from grade 4 to 3 and grade 3 to 1, respectively). Demodex counts were reduced by nearly half over the study period.
