Since its approval in 2002, many people have seen commercials or at least heard of Restasis , a drop used to help patients with dry eye. How does this drop work?
Restasis works by increasing tear production by suppressing inflammation on the ocular surface. When patients have more tears hydrating the front of their eyes (cornea and conjunctiva), they are much less likely to notice burning, stinging, grittiness, as well as all symptoms associated with dry eye.
Restasis has been a valuable tool at Advanced Eye Care Center for over a decade. If you have stinging, redness, grittiness, or tired eyes, ask us if you would be a good candidate for Restasis. Relief can be a drop or two away!
