Suggest Treatment For Dry Eyes
I have Chronic Dry Eye due to SJS. I have been on Restasis for a year and no help. Should I quit using this product. All I am seeing is bad reviews on this medication. My othalmoloigst told me Restais could take up to 2 years to start working. I cannot produce tears at all!

as such treatment is artificial tear drop like refresheye tear drop but if it is pjogrens syndrome which is autoimune disorder then punctum can be sealed surgically so that tear will accumulate in cunjuctival sac and you will get relief from dry eye. in this case you need not apply artificial tear drop.
