Surprised more aren't talking about this: New Drug for Dry Eyes

[alwaysimproving]

Hello Everyone,

I am surprised more of you aren't focusing on this.
It's a completely new drug developed to treat dry eye:

This is exciting because it shows that there are always new drugs that are on the market. Maybe one day the drugs will be significant enough to provide extremely meaningful improvement.

It's only been out a few weeks.

It isn't even released in the US yet,FDA approval was granted earlier this month after a rejection a year ago and further testing. The company expects to release it in "the third quarter" of the year, so sometime before October.

This new drug was mentioned on this site a few weeks ago by someone
and I wrote the name down. I have an apt with my eye dr. in August and
am going to ask about it.

Restasis never worked for me....so I am hoping this may work.
However, my eyes aren't as bad as some here but I always welcome
more moisture in my eyes.
