Dry Eye Relief
Dry eyes are a common problem for many people and are usually the result of impaired tear production. Contact lenses, certain medications, and medical conditions can all cause impaired tear production, with the result of dry eyes. Eye drops and humidifiers help a little, but dry eye relief is usually temporary.
If it is determined that the Lactoferrin (protein) level in your tears is low, your health insurance may pay for most of the treatment procedure.
RESTASIS
When your eyes’ natural ability to make enough tears is reduced, they may not have enough tears to lubricate and protect them. Chronic Dry Eye (CDE) is a medical condition that can result from the eyes’ reduced ability to make tears.
Over-the-counter eye drops can help moisten your eyes, but they cannot help increase tear production— so provide only temporary relief.
RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion helps increase tear production in cases where it may be reduced by inflammation and helps you make more of your own real tears.
