Study Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of rhNGF eye drops at 20 μg/ml concentration administered two or three times daily for 4 weeks in patients with moderate to severe dry eye.

Primary Outcome

Without previously instilling anesthetic drops, the Schirmer strip is inserted into the lower conjunctival sac at the junction of the lateral and middle thirds, avoiding touching the cornea, and the length of wetting strips in millimeters is recorded after 5 minutes. The patients will be instructed to close their eyes gently. After 5 min
