restasis eye burning

discuss your concerns with the doctor that ordered the restasis and tell her/him about the new floaters.

I have a moderate to serious dry eye. I am going to start my Restasis today and I know that I will not see the result till 2 months or more from now. I am also planning for a cataract surgery in 1 to 2 months. I also foresee that I will use some steroid or antibotics for a few weeks after the surgery. Do I need to stop Restasis once I start the steroid ?

My Eye Doctor suggested I keep Restasis in the fridge to make more comfortable and reduce the burning and to keep using ir for 2 days. Does Restasis lose its effectiveness when placed in the fridge. Also when are results typically seen? I have a TBUT of 5 and hoping to see an increase if ues consistently.

t produce tears or something like that so I have to use over the counter eye drops daily. This burning, painful, running eye thing began just a few months ago and mainly comes on in the evenings and my "flare ups" last anywhere btwn 15-20 min at a time. It burns even while the tears are falling. I havnt got this checked cuz its something I just deal with. I want to know more about what I am scheduling to see the dr for. I treat myself alternatively and rarely use western medicine.

I have been using Restasis for several years now (only left eye) and lately it burns a lot, mostly after the evening application. Is that normal?

Xiidra, which I do not use after having poor results and may complaints from my patients about stinging, burning and not being effective. If after a 9 months the person is still symptomatic on restasis twice per day and preservative free artificial tears 2 to 4 times/day than I switch from restasis to Cequa, which is the same medicine as restasis (cyclosporine) but twice as concentrated and is said to penetrate deeper into the cornea. Cequa is more expensive.

Have you been 2 an eye Dr?I had the same problem and the eye dr gave me restasis and Lotemax. Restasis takes about 3 months of use before it actually works,thats where the Lotemax kicks in-it is a steroid that helps the Restasis get to work faster.No more problems for me.Chronic Dry Eyes will do this to you.I was miserable with mine.

I have a burning sensation in my left eye deep in the tearduct. I also have a runny nose only in my left nostril. I have had lens replacement surgery on my left only. I have a small blur in the left eye. I had my surgery with a doctor who does not take insurance. As a result, I have had to see someone else for care. At the 2nd doctors office I had tests and there is a small amount of opacification healing film in the back of my eye.

1. stye-hot red tender spot on lid that gets much better or worse over a few days. 2. Not likely this long after it got in your eyes. 3. YES MOST LIKELY 4. Sinus not cause dry eye, sinus meds can dry eyes. 5. CERTAINLY READ THIS: General Information on Dry Eyes a Schirmer test of zero indicates that you have severe dry eyes.

My eyes also begin burning in the evenings I took the eye drops for pink eye and made sure to change out all makeup and through away the contaminated contacts. I don't know if the pink eye has anything to do with my current problems or if it is just a coincidence. Can pink eye result in these problems? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I had one plug taken out and my eye immediately worsened with dry eye so I had it reinserted. I am taking all measures to aggressively treat dry eyes and don't feel that that is the issue. I just don't know how to find out a proper diagnosis and treatment. I want to make sure my eyes are healthy and it's difficult to deal with constant pain and discomfort.

Have you ever had ON? I've had some issues with burning eyes since having irisitis, closely followed by ON & then more ON in the other eye. Your eye doc is obviously the expert but I wonder if it's some kind of nerve damage?

I had surgery for droopy eye lid (one eye) two months ago. The surgery fine. Dry eye first time ever. Cannot sleep through the night. Also bad while on computer. Gritty, burning, painful. Dr used the plug. Have tried systane, refresh, with ointment at night and restasis. Warm cloths. Can you help?

and ask the Eye MD to look at your eyes BEFORE any drops are put in your eye. Ask the Eye MD about a schirmer tear test. I believe you might benefit from regular use (4 or more time/day) use of artifical tears and a 4-5 month trial of ReStasis.

I prescribe Restasis and I use Restasis. I am not familiar with a blue vial holder. I Googled the term and nothing comes up so I don't know anything about it.

Hello, I am writing this question on behalf of my Mom who had cataract surgery a little over a year ago and she is still having a lot of problems with her eye. Specifically, she is experiencing the following: - Persistent pain and feeling of burning sensations. Difficult for her to sleep as a result. - Light sensitivity. - Multiple cases of severe red eye. Most recent issue lasted for two weeks in her left eye and was painful throughout. - Constant feeling of strain.

In fact dry eye was my first Lymes symptom! It awoke me at night with severe eye burning. I was told it was due to my long term contact use, menopause, etc. I then developed intermittent high fevers up to 105, neck stiffness,restless leg, insomnia, mental fogginess elbow pain, and cold sensitivity to my hands and feet, along with , a cough. After several tests, CAT scan, Pulmonary consult, etc I had a positive Lymes test! My Lymes went undiagnosed/treated for 18 months!

For aqueous deficincy you can try artificial tears like hypotears and standard dry eye treatment or if nothing works restasis. It is unlikely you have ocular candidiasis.

Cataracts removed July and August 2009. Severe burning both eyes. MD states dry eye reason for problem. Using Restasis twice daily, also Genteel eye drops several times daily and Genteel lubricant at bedtime. Problem is unresolved. Is there a solution to this problem or do I just have to learn to live with the constant burning. I am concerned that all of these drops may eventually have an impact on my vision.

It may be due to dry eye, as a burning sensation is a symptom of that. Have you seen an opththalmologist (eye M.D.)? If not, please consider doing so. Your eye specialist may give you a referral, or you can find one in your area at www.aao.org if you live in the U.S.

Pred Forte is a ultra stong steroid with many possible side effects. It is not a long term treatment for either dry eyes or blepharitis. You should try and get off it as soon as you can and see an Eye MD ophthalmologist for treatment.

Have cauterized lower puncta and have tried plugging upper puncta with no success. Have worn large contacts. Have tried every eye drop known to the medical community. Had silver nitrate treatment x 2. Now am on 1% Cyclosporin, which burns like acid. Nothing has even begun to work.He said the next step was to have ocular surgery where the mast cells are literally scraped off, but he said it's not always successful.

After overusing visine for two weeks I developed itch, burning, ghosting, sharp pains and no sleepies/eye crust. In your honest opinion, what do you think happened? If it's dry eye, then the visine must have caused it because I had perfect eyes and nothing like dry eye prior to the visine abuse. What do you think? p.s.- Sorry if I'm bothering you but I just really need someone to talk to about this. Thanks again for your help.
