A PROVEN
PRESCRIPTION
TREATMENT
RESTASIS® was developed specifically to treat a type of Chronic Dry Eye with decreased tear production due to inflammation.
It can help increase the eyes’ natural tear production with time and consistent use. In a study, patients using RESTASIS® saw an increase in tear production at 6 months. Individual results may vary.
THE DO’S AND DON’TS
OF RESTASIS®
Patience is a virtue when it comes to treating with RESTASIS®. Just as it took time for your type of Chronic Dry Eye to develop, it will take time for RESTASIS® to help you make more of your own real tears.
USE PROPERLY
Use RESTASIS® twice a day, every day, at least 12 hours apart. Do not use RESTASIS® if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Be careful not to touch the container tip to your eye or other surfaces, to help avoid eye injury and contamination.
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
Some degree of temporary stinging or burning after application may occur. Talk to your doctor if you've experienced these side effects.
BE PATIENT
Remember, it can take time to see results. When using RESTASIS® twice a day, every day, some patients may begin to notice an increase in tear production after 3 months, with significant increase in tear production at 6 months. Individual results may vary.
