Selection Criteria for Cohorts at the Enrollment Study Visit
| Cohort | MMQS*,† | Schirmer Test Without Anesthesia† | Sum of Worst 2 Symptom Scores on the Subject Ocular Symptom Questionnaire‡ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-MGD | 0 or 1§ | ≥7 mm/5 min | 0 to 4 with neither symptom scored as >2 |
| Mild-to-moderate MGD | 2§ | ≥7 mm/5 min | 0 to 4 with neither symptom scored as >2 |
| Severe MGD | 3 | ≥7 mm/5 min | ≥4 |
MGD, meibomian gland dysfunction; MMQS, maximum meibum quality score.
Selection criteria from the latest protocol amendment are listed. The MMQS was graded by the investigator; higher scores indicate lower quality of the secretion.
Only six central glands in the lower lids were examined and graded.
MMQS and Schirmer test criteria must be met in the same eye (the study eye providing the meibum sample analyzed).
Scored by the study participant.
No gland among the six central glands being graded may have a meibum quality score greater than the MMQS specified in the cohort designation.
