OSDI, Ocular Surface Disease Index; SPEED, Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness; BCVA, best corrected visual acuity; NIKTMH, non-invasive keratograph tear meniscus height; NIBUT, non-invasive break-up time; FBUT, fluorescein break-up time; LLT, lipid layer thickness. Significant values are shown in bold. P-values < 0.05 were considered significant.
