HOW TO USE
RESTASIS®
Treating your type of Chronic Dry Eye with RESTASIS® takes time and consistent use. Take one drop in each eye twice a day, every day, at least 12 hours apart.
It may take 3 months for some patients to begin noticing an increase in tear production, with significant increase in tear production at 6 months. Individual results may vary.
Save yourself trips to the pharmacy by opting for the 90-day supply of RESTASIS®.
