Restasis is an immunosuppressant that works by inhibiting T-helper cells, lowering the immune response thereby reducing inflammation.

However, T-helper cells produce, store and release NGF and express the NGF high-affinity receptor.

Therefore, it may be wise to use a different...

Anyone out there had any success with treating rebound redness from Vasoconstrictor "get the red out" drops overuse?

What's the best method to go about tackling inflammation of the sclera? Restasis? Scleral Lenses?
