My eye doctor just Rx'd Lotemax (4 weeks) & Restasis (for life) for my extremely dry eyes. They feel like sand is in them. I am concerned because from what I can understand Restasis works through the auto immune system. I am in week 38 of standard treatment and since week 16 of treatment have had a hypothyroid. Any advice? I also was told this morning to increase Procrit from 20,000 to 40,000 a week because Hgb was only 8.5 on this weeks lab.
My wife is suffering from severe eye pain whenever she reads the book for more than 30 min or watches TV or computer monitor for more than 10 min. The pain does not come instantly but develops and intensifies gradually even after the reading or TV watching is done. Local ophtalmologist has diagnosed her with dry eye syndrome, even though the only symptom that she has is pain. He was not able to find anything else wrong with her eyes. She was tested for Sjogren's and it came out negative.
I'm on restasis, my wife is on restasis, I use restasis in my practice. the medicine does not cause floaters. Floaters can occur at any time. If they start and you are doing something else like mowing the yard, reading a book or starting restasis the relationship is COINCIDENTAL. On the other hand if you are hit in the eye with a fist and note floaters the relationship is CAUSATIVE.
A long with my fish oil pills. What are other supplements I can use to improve my dry eyes? I want to avoid prescribed restasis at all cost :) please some advice?
ve lost most of my eyelashes and my eyes get infected constantly. I have been using zylet, and dioxcycline orally. My doctor insists I keep using restasis even though my eyes are constantly infected. I thought this was contraindicted. And the antibiotics don't help at all. My eyes just get worse by the day. Any suggestions?
That commercial drives my dog insane. Everytime it comes on she runs up to the tv and barks like a crazy animal!!!
It is very cute, but like I said my shi-tzu does not agree!!!!!!!!
So my eyes seem to have changed since Restasis, namely, no more astigmatism in the right. It was a LONG and expensive road to figure this out, long story. So I finally got new RX, bought online and I can see pretty clearly at every distance...EXCEPT flat screen tvs! Any. Small or large, set hogh, low...if I am almost on top of the TV or literally straight on my eyes work together to see the image. But the tiniest tilt in any way or more than.
So what are your favorite commercials or most hated commercials.....Anything Commercial......this should be fun.....I think.
Naut...............
Lmao!! I dint really watch TV so I haven't seen it. What is it about the commercial that pisses you off? Think I might Google it just to see for myself.
So tonight especially while watching TV with my daycare kids and all the commercials for food are driving me crazy. I want all of it. Not only do we not have hardly any of the fast food restraunts but I am also broke right now but I am sure not dragging all 5 kids to get my cravings. I don't watch actual TV at home so it doesn't bother me there cuz we watch netflix with no commercials. Anyone else get this way?
m not sure how you might get Restasis (cyclosporine) check out their website. www.restasis.com Restasis is the most widely prescribed eyedrop in the US. 90% are post menopausal females; 10% males and pre-menopausal females. Seems there should be some way to get the medication. a factor raised is the cost. The drops are non-preserved and you are dispensed two dropperettes to use each day. Everyone, myself and my wife also, use up one completely before opening another.
The company reported for the first time that in a Phase II study, a 48-week boceprevir regimen achieved an unprecedented 75 percent sustained virologic response (SVR)

Interesting article, I wonder if there will ever be a "Consumer Reports" type of trial done to determine which PI works best?
My eyes are burning when I try to watch TV, computer or when is strong sunlight. In 2004 I had a lasik surgery for medium myopia and before that I had contact lenses. Now I wear glasses for small myopia and astigmatism. I had this problem before the lasik surgery but it was rarely, after the lasik it became permanent. I've seen many doctors and the only cause they could find was dry eye.I 've tried many eye drops for dry eyes but no result. What else could cause me this photophobia?
Not sure how true but i seen commercial on tv that stated covered ca is covering addiction rehabs. So i would say call cover ca or and tv stations that ran that commercial. Just a thought.
I just got back from my optomologist & he prescribed for me Restasis. He mentioned that once you're on Restasis, it's an on going thing it's not really temporary. Is that the case, do I have to stay on it. I was hoping that once my eye is feeling better, I could just use artificial tears to keep my eyes from drying so badly. He also changed my contact lenses to Acuvue Oasys. Any advice or info would be great.............................
My ophthalmologist recently prescribed restasis for dry eyes. I read that cyclosporin can causes cancer. Is this true? Are these drops safe?
Rare anyone to be too sensitive to restasis. My wife and I have been on restasis for many years with fabulous results. restasis works with both forms of dry eyes. Many people have stinging with restasis for several weeks which can be helped by using steroid drops for a couple of weeks. there is a new medication that works like restasis called Xidra it is supposed to kick in faster (3-4 months) than restasis (4-6 months) but has not been shown to be better than restasis and is more costly.
