    The ocular surface disease index survey in completed at the time of the exam. This scale ranges from 0 to 100 higher scores representing greater disability.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tear break-up time

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Schirmer tear secretion test

    Schirmer tear secretion test (mm) without anesthesia was performed using strip (Color Bar; Eagle vision. Memphis, TN)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Corneal fluorescence staining

    Corneal staining with fluorescein solution is graded at the time of the exam on a scale of 0 to 5 using the oxford scoring system with 5 being the most severe staining.

    Measured: 1 day
