Burning after restasis

[gilles]

Hi,

I now use Ikervis and I am happy with it. Ikervis you just use 1 x day as opposed to the Drops I had before, they were 2 x day. Ikervis I use before going to Sleep. It burns slightly but tolerable. Then the next morning I don't feel anything from the burning.

Total opposite to the Drops with Castor oil. So I guess I was Right, I just wasn't tolerating the Castor oil. Slightly burning is a known factor with cyclosporine, but not hours after application...

I told my doctor I sometimes have problems tolerating eye drops (depends if the corner of my eye is red, then it stings), so he prescribed cyclosporine with isopto tears rather than with oil (as oil might be harder to tolerate, but on itself is really good for the eyes - I think that is the reason why people already have good effects after using the drops for e.g. 2 weeks, as the cyclosporine doesn't kick in that quickly)
