Restasis doesn't work for me. Unfortunately, before I realized this, I orderd 3 packs of restasis (brand) .4ml vials from Canada for $148. I haven't even opened the wrapping on the box it was mailed in. If anyone wants to buy it for $100 email me at carol8297@aol.com List subject matter "restasis" so I open the email.

I am a Lasik patient and had dry eyes before the procedure after wearing contacts for many years, but after having the surgery, the dryness just seemed to get a little worse, especially overnight and in the mornings.

I am a Lasik patient and had dry eyes before the procedure after wearing contacts for many years, but after having the surgery, the dryness just seemed to get a little worse, especially overnight and in the mornings. So my Dr recommended Restasis. I've only been using it for 2.5 weeks and it seems to be helping. I don't notice a HUGE improvement, but I also haven't been taking it that long. I was expecting to have the burning, etc, but I keep them in the fridge and also use Refresh Tears about 15 mins before use and that must help because I haven't had ANY burning or irritation as of yet. I think I will do as others that have posted a review and recap my tube and reuse. Too expensive to just throw so much of it away.

I developed an persistant dripping/runny (clear) nose after a few months. Reducing to once a day helped for a long time. It became unberable and I stopped the Rx. It required 3 weeks to stop the flow of water from the nose. All the while I used and still use fish and flax oil. And now OTC preparations.

After reading the other reviews I am not comfortable continuing to use this med. my eyes burn and I am experiencing extreme sensitivity to sunlight, something I never had before. Symptoms are worse than dry eyes. It's been about 4 weeks but I am going to discontinue use.

Is it correct to use Restasis if you have had a past eye infection such as Shingles or Herpes of the eye?
