  • What is RESTASIS®?

    • RESTASIS® is the only prescription eye drop that helps 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 steroids or tear duct plugs.

    • Research has shown that Chronic Dry Eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca, also known as Dry Eye Syndrome) may be the result of a functional problem in the tear-producing glands of the eyes. This reduces tear production, resulting in an insufficient amount of tears to lubricate or nourish the eye
  • How does it work?

    • RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion is the first prescription eye drop indicated to increase tear production which may be reduced by inflammation on the eye surface in patients with Chronic Dry Eye.

    • RESTASIS® did not increase tear production in patients using topical steroid drops or tear duct plugs.

    • The approved treatment is one drop in the morning and one drop at night in each eye, every day. RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion helps increase your natural ability to produce tears, which may be reduced by inflammation due to Chronic Dry Eye.

    • RESTASIS® is believed to work on the inflammation to relieve it and enable greater tear production over time.

  • What are the side effects?
    • The most common side effect reported by 17% of patients was ocular burning.
    • Other side effects reported by 1% to 5% of patients included conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, epiphora, eye pain, foreign-body sensation, pruritus, stinging, and visual disturbance (most often blurring).
    • RESTASIS® is contraindicated in patients with active ocular infections and has not been studied in patients with a history of herpes keratitis.
