When I asked my opthalmologist last week if 'Restasis' was finally available in Europe, she said: "No, but recently generic cyclosporine eye drops are."

Wow! Sure wish I'd known that sooner!

She's allowing me a trial for 5 weeks to see if the blepharitis improves. Warned me too: "Isn't effective for everyone and might hurt in the beginning."
54. DES-daughter ('67), Lyme's ('98), GAD ('98), Sjogren's ('02) - changed to Sicca ('20), hypothyroid ('04), endometriosis ('14), osteoarthritis ('16), blepharitis & MGD ('18), Pilocarpine, thyroid meds, 12.5mg quetiapine. Allergies: sodium hydroxide, nickle, methylisothiazolinone, latex

Hi  :)

Cyclosporine has been available in Europe for awhile. I'm currently using Cyclosprine Gel, at night,which I really like but was told i can only get it from the Eye Hospital pharmacy. I was told it would sting - but it doesn't.

Take care - Scottie  :)
