Figure 5

Mean change of tear meniscus area (TMA) from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment for all subjects and each subgroup in acupuncture and artificial tear groups. ^†significant change from the baseline ( value < 0.05). significance compared to artificial tear group ( value < 0.05). significance between subtypes indicated ( value < 0.05). Significant comparisons include acupuncture group VS artificial tear group for all subjects (), LTD (), and Non-SSDE (); LTD VS SSDE () and Non-SSDE VS SSDE () in acupuncture group.
