Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

At the Screening (Day -7) and Baseline (Day 1) visits, at least 1 eye must qualify based on corneal and conjunctival staining scores
Have used an artificial tear product for DED within 6 months of the Screening (Day -7) visit
Have ability/agreement to continue to wear existing current spectacle correction during the study period (if applicable)
If using any form of topical ophthalmic cyclosporine (i.e., RESTASIS®) or lifitegrast 5% ophthalmic solution (Xiidra®), participants must be using the drops for ≥90 days prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit and plan to continue without change for the duration of the study
A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (i.e., has a negative in-office urine pregnancy test at Screening [Day -7] and does not verbally report pregnancy at the Day 1 [Baseline] visit; is not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies:
A woman not of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR
A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance for the duration of the study

You may not qualify if…

Have uncontrolled severe systemic disease that, in the assessment of the investigator, would put safety of the participant at risk through participation, or which would prevent or confound protocol-specified assessments (eg, hypertension and diabetes, Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, immunodeficiency disease, etc.)
Participant has worn contact lenses in the last 90 days prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit and/or participant anticipates contact lens wear during the study
Have any scheduled or planned systemic surgery or procedure during the study, which in the investigator's opinion, may impact the participant's study participation
Presence of 1 or more of the following ocular conditions:
Active ocular infection or non-keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) ocular inflammation
Active ocular allergy
History of recurrent herpes keratitis or active disease within 6 months prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit
Corneal disorder or abnormality that affects corneal sensitivity or normal spreading of the tear film (except superficial punctate keratitis)
Severe blepharitis or obvious inflammation of the lid margin, which in the judgment of the investigator, may interfere with the interpretation of the study results
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca secondary to the destruction of conjunctival goblet cells, such as occurs with vitamin A deficiency or scarring such as that with cicatricial pemphigoid, alkali burns, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, trachoma, or irradiation
Substantial non-KCS keratitis with overlying corneal stain or other significant corneal findings not directly related to DED; in addition, participants with DED signs/symptoms (eg, filamentary keratitis) of a severity where topical monotherapy with an artificial tear would be inappropriate
The start date of any systemic medication (including over-the-counter [OTC], herbal, prescription, or nutritional supplements) which may affect Dry Eye Disease (DED) or vision is <90 days prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit or a change in dosage is anticipated during the study.
Systemic medications, which may affect DED or vision, include but are not limited to the following: flax seed oil, fish oil, omega-3 supplements, cyclosporine, antihistamines, cholinergic agents, anticholinergics, antimuscarinics, beta blocking agents, tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazines, estrogen, progesterone, and other estrogen derivatives
Have occlusion of the lacrimal puncta for either eye, with punctal plugs or cauterization < 6 months prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit or anticipated use of such procedures during the study
Use of lid-heating therapy (i.e., LipiFlow®, iLUX®, etc.), Meibomian gland probing, or therapeutic Meibomian gland expression in either eye < 6 months prior to the Screening visit (Day -7) or anticipated use during the study
Have history of ocular/ophthalmic surgery or trauma, which could affect corneal sensitivity and/or tear distribution (eg, cataract surgery, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis [LASIK], photorefractive keratectomy, or any surgery involving a limbal or corneal incision) within 12 months prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit
Are currently using topical ocular medication (OTC, herbal or prescription) or TrueTear® (intranasal neurostimulator), or have used topical ocular medication (OTC, herbal or prescription) or TrueTear within 1 month of the Screening (Day -7) visit or plan use of such treatments during the study. Exception: participants who are using the following can be considered:
Marketed artificial tear product for the management of DED, which must be discontinued at the Screening (Day -7) visit
Monotherapy for glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT) using a prostaglandin analog, beta blocker, alpha-2 agonist, or carbonic anhydrase inhibitor; any topical intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications must have a start date of ≥ 90 days prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit and dosage is not expected to change during the study
Cyclosporine topical ophthalmic preparation (eg, RESTASIS or other ophthalmic form) or lifitegrast 5% ophthalmic solution (Xiidra), with a start date of ≥ 90 days prior to the Screening (Day -7) visit and dosage is not expected to change during the study NOTE: Participants currently being treated with BOTH an IOP-lowering medication and topical ocular cyclosporine or lifitegrast cannot be enrolled.
Are currently enrolled in an investigational drug or device study or participation in such a study within 30 days of entry into this study at the Screening (Day -7) visit
Report an average daily artificial tear use of >6 times per day within 6 months of the Screening (Day -7) visit
Females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy during the study or females who are of childbearing potential and not using a reliable method of contraception
Have history of allergies or sensitivity to the study interventions or its components (including all REFRESH and Systane product lines) or diagnostics (eg, topical ocular anesthetic, sodium fluorescein, or lissamine green).
