	Goblet-cell density	Difference
Group 1
AS + O7	94.83±8.38a,b	51.17±6.43
AS + NS	43.67±4.76
Group 3
AS + Restasis	65.17±11.51c	24.67±9.33
AS + NS	40.5±7.01

Notes:

^aP<0.05 versus AS + NS in group 1;

^bP<0.05 versus AS + Restasis in group 3;

^cP<0.05 versus AS + NS in group 3. Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n=6, three separate tissues by two independent masked observers).

Abbreviations: AS, atropine sulfate (1% solution); NS, normal saline.
