What is Restasis?

Restasis eye drops offer a solution for tear film dysfunction, which can have many symptoms including blurred vision and pain.

Restasis contains cyclosporine, an anti-inflammatory medication used in organ transplant rejection. Unlike artificial tears, Restasis works at the source of the problem by targeting the inflammation that disrupts tear production. By reducing inflammation, the eye’s ability to produce tears is increased. It is NOT just a lubricant eye drop.

This blog has discussed Restasis in the past, but it is a common medication and a common question that we receive!
