Restasis users 4xs a day?

[dave25]

I am sorry to hear you are having so much trouble, hang in there, it will get better. I use Restasis 4x per day and I think that it helps. Actually I have tried 3x and 4x per day and I find that there is not all that much difference between them. However, I did find quite a bit of difference between 3x or 4x per day and just 2x per day. So for me the increase in dosage did help quite a bit. Also, one thing that might help you save a little money is when I use Restasis, 1 vial usually lasts me an entire day. When I was using Restasis 2x a day, 1 vial would last me about 2 days, so try to squeeze as much out of the vials as you can. I hope this helps.

I was wondering if anyone on this site has used Restasis 4xs a day (4 vials) with increased tear production? I understand that it can take up to 2-3 months before seeing results. I have a severe dry eye condition that was a result of an inflammatory eye disease caused by viral conjunctivitis and the Herpes I virus. I'm currently getting treatment at the Wilmer Eye Institute after not having much success with my doctors in NJ over the past 5 months. This is a frightening condition to say the least. I haven't been able to work for the past 5 months or even drive a car. Once the conjunctivitis started to leave my eyes my eyes appeared to go back to normal. But 2 weeks after I appeared to be recovered, I started getting incredibly light sensitive and then the inflammation just came roaring back. At one point this summer my eyes became beet red and didn't return to somewhat normal looking until I underwent 7 weeks of Prednisone treatment.
