RESTASIS®
RESTASIS® and RESTASIS MultiDose® are not artificial tears. They are prescription eye drops. Artificial tears are over-the-counter lubricants that help moisten the eyes and provide temporary symptom relief, but they do not increase the eyes’ ability to produce their own tears.
Unlike artificial tears, RESTASIS® treats the underlying cause of a type of Chronic Dry Eye by reducing inflammation and increasing the eyes’ ability to produce tears.
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.
