Ive heard that Restasis is the cure-all for dry eye. Is this correct?
Restasis is the brand name for Cyclosporin A, and has enjoyed a lot of publicity and a certain amount of popularity. It is the first drug developed specifically for dry eye syndrome, and is aimed at reducing surface inflammation, which exacerbates dry eye. Although it can be useful therapy, it is not a cure-all. Since Restasis is prescription drug, you need to consult with your eye doctor in order to get it. He or she may well include additional therapies with the Restasis.
