Restasis (active ingredient: cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion) is a prescription eye medication used to treat chronic dry eye disease, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Chronic dry eye disease occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tear production is reduced because of inflammation on the surface of the eye. This can lead to symptoms such as dryness, burning, stinging, irritation, redness, blurred vision, and a feeling that something is in the eye.

Restasis belongs to a group of medications called immunomodulators. It works by reducing inflammation in the tear-producing glands and tissues of the eye, which can help increase the body’s natural tear production over time.

Treatment of Chronic Dry Eye Disease

Restasis is used to increase tear production in people with chronic dry eye disease when reduced tear production is believed to be caused by inflammation of the eye.

Unlike artificial tears, which temporarily lubricate the eyes, Restasis works to address one of the underlying causes of chronic dry eye by helping improve the eye’s ability to produce natural tears.

Symptoms of Chronic Dry Eye Disease

People with chronic dry eye disease may experience:

  • Dryness of the eyes
  • Burning or stinging sensations
  • Eye irritation
  • Redness
  • Blurred vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • A gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes
  • A sensation that something is stuck in the eye

How Restasis Helps

  • Helps increase natural tear production.
  • Reduces inflammation that may interfere with tear production.
  • Provides long-term management of chronic dry eye symptoms.
  • Supports eye comfort and surface health.

How Restasis Works

Restasis contains cyclosporine, which helps reduce inflammation in the tissues involved in tear production. By decreasing inflammation, Restasis can help the eyes produce more natural tears and improve moisture on the surface of the eye.

Because Restasis works gradually, it may take several weeks or months of regular use before the full benefits become noticeable. Continued use as prescribed can help support long-term relief from chronic dry eye symptoms.

Restasis should be used exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The usual dose is one drop in each affected eye twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.

Before using Restasis, wash your hands thoroughly to help prevent contamination and reduce the risk of eye infection. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper or allowing it to come into contact with your eye, fingers, or any other surface.

Some formulations of Restasis may require gentle mixing before use. If instructed, gently turn the vial upside down several times until the solution appears evenly mixed. The liquid should have a milky white appearance. If you have any questions about how to prepare or use your eye drops, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Using Restasis

Step 1: Wash Your Hands

Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling your eye drops.

Step 2: Get Into a Comfortable Position

Sit down or stand in a comfortable position. Tilt your head back slightly and look upward toward the ceiling.

Step 3: Create a Pocket for the Eye Drop

Using one finger, gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket between your eye and eyelid.

Step 4: Position the Dropper

Hold the dropper above your eye. Be careful not to touch your eye, eyelid, eyelashes, or surrounding skin with the dropper tip.

Step 5: Apply the Eye Drop

Place one drop into the pocket formed by your lower eyelid.

Step 6: Close Your Eye Gently

After applying the drop, slowly close your eye. Avoid blinking repeatedly, squeezing your eyelids tightly, or squinting, as this may cause the medication to drain out of the eye.

Step 7: Help Keep the Medication in the Eye

Gently press a finger against the inner corner of your eye, near the nose, for 1 to 2 minutes. This helps reduce drainage of the medication and allows more of the medicine to remain in the eye.

Additional Tips

  • Use Restasis approximately 12 hours apart each day.
  • Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface.
  • Follow the dosing schedule recommended by your healthcare provider.
  • Continue using Restasis regularly, even if you do not notice immediate improvement.
  • Because Restasis works gradually, it may take several weeks or months to experience the full benefits of treatment.

If you have difficulty applying your eye drops or experience any problems while using Restasis, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for assistance.

Cyclosporine eye drops may contain inactive ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction or other unwanted effects in some people. Your pharmacist can provide more information about the ingredients contained in your medication.

Tell your healthcare provider if you currently have, or recently had, an eye infection. Certain eye conditions may affect whether Restasis is appropriate for you or may require additional monitoring during treatment.

After applying Restasis, you may experience temporary blurred vision. Until your vision becomes clear again, avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing activities that require sharp vision and full attention.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before using Restasis. This medication should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. Your healthcare provider can help you decide whether Restasis is appropriate for you.

Restasis may interact with other medications, including certain eye drops, artificial tears, and products that contain cyclosporine. To help prevent potential drug interactions, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, herbal supplements, and eye medications that you use.

Important Tips While Using Restasis

  • Use each single-use vial only once.
  • Discard any unused medication after each application.
  • Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface.
  • Wait until your vision clears before driving or operating machinery.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about any eye infections, allergies, or other medications you are using.
  • Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

If you have any questions about using Restasis safely, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.

When Is It Necessary to Use Cyclosporine During Pregnancy?

Restasis should only be used during pregnancy when the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, discuss your treatment options with your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider can help you understand the benefits and risks of using Restasis during pregnancy and determine whether it is the right treatment for your individual situation.

How Long Does It Take for Restasis to Work?

Restasis works gradually and is not intended to provide immediate relief of dry eye symptoms. Some people may begin to notice improvement after several weeks of regular use, but for others, it may take several months to experience the full benefits of treatment. Because Restasis helps increase natural tear production over time, it is important to continue using the medication exactly as prescribed, even if you do not notice immediate improvement.

Is Restasis Addictive or Habit-Forming?

No. Restasis is not addictive and does not cause physical dependence. It is not considered habit-forming. Restasis should be used only as prescribed by your healthcare provider to help manage chronic dry eye disease. Continue using the medication according to your treatment plan and do not stop treatment without discussing it with your healthcare provider.
