• Have a Best Spectacle Corrected Visual Accuity (BSCVA) score of 20/200 (+0.70 LogMAR) or better in both eyes at both the Screening and Baseline visits

• Have a conjunctival hyperaemia score of Grade 2 or more on the Efron Scale in both eyes

Exclusion Criteria:

• Have a history or presence of any ocular disorder or condition (other than dry eye disease (DED)) in either eye that would, in the opinion of the investigator, likely interfere with the interpretation of the study results or subject safety

• Have a history of RA > 10 years.

• Have a Schirmer's 1 test score of 0 to 1mm at Screening

• Have had a corneal transplant in either or both eyes
