RESTASIS® was developed specifically to treat a type of Chronic Dry Eye with decreased tear production due to inflammation. It can help increase the eyes' natural tear production with time and consistent use. In a study, patients using RESTASIS® saw an increase in tear production at 6 months.

However, one common cause for higher consumer cost is a lack of competition. Restasis is a brand-name drug. These drugs are often under patent when first released, meaning no one else can manufacture them. So they are frequently priced higher initially due to a lack of similar medications vying for the same market.

Is anyone else creeped out by the ethereal lady eye doctor on the Restasis commercials? Her name is Dr. Alison Tendler, a board-certified ophthalmologist in South Dakota, a real doctor, not an actress, so I cut her some slack.

Restasis has an average rating of 4.5 out of 10 from a total of 190 reviews for the treatment of Dry Eye Disease. 26% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 50% reported a negative experience.

Official answer. Yes, Restasis (cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion) is safe for long-term use, and the potential side effects are the same regardless of how long the therapy is used.

Restasis® has U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to treat eye inflammation due to dry eye disease (keratoconjunctivitis sicca). It can also treat inflammation and dry eye that happen on their own or because of another condition like allergic eye irritation or Sjögren's syndrome.

In general, patients are advised to use Restasis for a minimum of 6 months, with the understanding that the vast majority will require lifelong treatment to remain symptom-free. Side effects were similar in 1-year and 3-year trials.

The RESTASIS® list price, also known as the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC), 1 iS $645.63 † for a 30-day supply of RESTASIS® or RESTASIS MultiDose®. Call 1.844. 4MY-TEARS (1-844-469-8327) to find how much RESTASIS® will cost for you.

Restasis is meant to be used as a long-term treatment. If you and your doctor determine that Restasis is safe and effective for you, you'll likely take it long term.
