Chronic Dry Eye

Some people who suffer from Chronic Dry Eye use over-the-counter (OTC) eye drops or artificial tears. Over time, some people need them more and more often. They may also find that using different kinds or brands of eye drops aren’t enough. Using OTC eye drops can help moisten the eyes and may provide short-term relief, but they cannot help increase tear production.

RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion is the only prescription eye drop to help increase your eyes’ natural ability to produce tears, which may be reduced by inflammation due to Chronic Dry Eye.

RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion did not increase tear production in patients using topical steroid drops or tear duct plugs. RESTASIS® can help you make more of your own tears.

Omega 3, 6, and 9 supplementation systemically can also increase tear production. For more information about Chronic Dry Eye, please click here.
