Learn About 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 RESTASIS^® Works

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.
