    Redness at the transition zone between the white of the eye and the clear window of the eye, the cornea, on a scale of 0 to 4. 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe

  • Bulbar Redness [ Time Frame: baseline to 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Redness of the blood vessels in the tissues overlaying the white of the eye, on a scale of 0 to 4. 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe

  • Lower Tarsal Redness [ Time Frame: baseline to 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Redness of the blood vessels in the inner lining of the lower eyelid, on a scale of 0 to 4. 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe

  • Upper Tarsal Redness [ Time Frame: baseline to 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Redness of the blood vessels in the inner lining of the upper eyelid, on a scale of 0 to 4. 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe

  • Tarsal Roughness [ Time Frame: baseline to 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The roughness of the inner lining of the eyelids, measured on a 0 to 7 scale. 0=Smooth, 1=Slightly uneven, 2=Uneven surface, 3=Uneven surface with loss of transparency & superficial vessels, 4=Small papillae, poor transparency, 5=Papillae greater than 0.5mm in size, no transparency, 6=Papillae greater than 0.5mm in size, vessels inside papillae, 7=Large papillae
