Prescription Eye Drops for Dry Eye Relief

Restasis (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion) 0.05% is a prescription eye drop for patients with chronic dry eye disease. It works by reducing inflammation in the eyes and increasing tear production. Restasis is typically used twice a day, and it may take several weeks to notice significant improvement in symptoms.

Xiidra (Lifitegrast Ophthalmic Solution) 5% is designed to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. It works by blocking a protein called LFA-1, which can cause inflammation. Patients usually use Xiidra twice daily, and some may experience relief within two weeks of starting treatment.

Cequa (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Solution) 0.09% is another option for those with dry eye disease. It uses a unique nanomicellar formulation to enhance the delivery of cyclosporine into the eye, reducing inflammation and increasing tear production. Patients typically use Cequa twice daily, and improvements can be seen in about four weeks.

Regener-Eyes is a unique biologic eye drop that includes anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors to reduce inflammation and stimulate the ocular surface to heal and regenerate. Unlike other eye drops, Regener-Eyes is non-steroidal and preservative-free, making it an excellent option for those with sensitive eyes. It is typically used as directed by an eye care professional, with the dosage and frequency tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
