Anyone using Restasis?

Question

I have just started using Restasis for severe dry eye. But I am having a lot pressure kind of feeling in my forehead and I am not sure if that is normal or if I need to contact my Doctor. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

Because of the extreme side effects and low success rate + the research supporting the position that castor oil (the vehicle in restasis) is toxic, I chose not to try it (I, too have severe dry eye- TBUT 2 at best)

That said, a lot of people do end up trying restasis- and they'll be able to tell you more. If you haven't joined already, join dry eye talk- there's hundreds of folks there. Go to http://www.dryeyezone.com/talk/ and scroll down to 'restasis'- there's a forum for it. you'll need to register to ask your question, though.
