Results: The average SPEED score changed from 16.65 to 6.85 (58% decrease: P<0.05). OSDI score waschanged from 62.50 to 29.25 (53% decrease; P<0.05). The average TBUT improved from 10.1 to 16.8 seconds (66% increase; P<0.05). Two cases of severe blepharo-kerato-conjunctivitis significantly improved.
