What Is Chronic Dry Eye?

Chronic Dry Eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) is a medical condition that needs continuous therapy. It can be caused by advanced age, contact lens wear, certain medications, eye diseases, or other medical conditions.

One type of Chronic Dry Eye is characterized by decreased tear production due to inflammation. For this type of Chronic Dry Eye, RESTASIS^® Ophthalmic Emulsion helps increase your eyes' natural ability to produce tears.

Constantly using artifical tears may be a sign of Chronic Dry Eye

Some people who suffer from Chronic Dry Eye use artificial tears. Over time, some people need them more and more often as the condition gets worse. They may also find that using different kinds or brands of eye drops aren’t enough. Using artificial tears can help moisten the eyes and may provide short-term relief, but they cannot help increase tear production in cases where it may be caused by inflammation due to Chronic Dry Eye.

RESTASIS^®: A prescription eye drop

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 anti-inflammatory eye drops or tear duct plugs. With RESTASIS^®, one drop, twice a day, with continued use can help you make more of your own tears.
