What is Restasis?
Restasis is the only prescription eye drop proven to help increase natural tear production. Restasis works by decreasing inflammation in the lacrimal glands of the lids. The lacrimal gland is primarily responsible for most of the eye’s natural tear production. Since this is one of the most effective and successful dry eye therapies, we use it as one of the first line weapons in the fight against dry eye. We also prefer Restasis because it has been proven to be safe for long term use, and it increases the bodies natural tear production instead of relying on artificial formulations.
