  • Conducted a longitudinal study with participants having mild-to-moderate dryness symptoms.
  • Participants used Systane COMPLETE four times a day for one month.
  • Utilized questionnaires (OSDI and DEQ-5) to assess symptoms at multiple time points.
  • Analyzed correlations between symptom scores and environmental factors.
  • Significant improvements observed in OSDI and DEQ-5 scores (p < 0.01).
  • Symptoms reduced to less than half by the study's end, especially noted in DEQ-5 scores.
