The eye doctor said he could see marked improvement in my eye. I only used the drops in one eye to compare. I used them in my worse eye. He was impressed I thought of doing that. He said they used to do glaucoma drops that way. It feels so much better and I don't rub them nearly as often. I will continue using Restasis now (in both eyes).

Yay! So glad to hear it's working for you.
I haven't had much luck with Restasis myself, so I'm especially happy to hear that it's working for you. If it can't help me, at least it's helping somebody!
Reanne, I think that little "trick" makes you smarter than most of the eye docs. I am glad they are working for you, although usually it takes weeks and even months to notice a difference. Yeah, apparently you are one of the lucky ones. Continued good luck. Lucy
Reanne:
Yes, you are one of the lucky ones. One of the 18% success rate in Restasis clinical trial. None of the eye drops worked for me. We are all individuals.
Thanks for letting us know!

Restasis has helped me so much that I often forget to use my Systane drops during the rest of the day. My eyes feel almost normal - YAY!

I've been using Restasis for 7 years now. It worked quickly and dramatically for the better. Just for fun last year I tried going without it for 3 days to see if it made a difference. By the third day I knew for sure how much it was continuing to help my (previously -0- -0- tears) eyes. Just wish they could offer it at a less expensive price.

I'm with you LeoLady, the cost is just nuts. :)
