I did try restasis doesn’t work for me , my optometrist has me using a new eye drop called Vevye only been using 4 days maybe been able to tell small difference. The instructions suggest it can take up to 6 weeks. I am also doing IPL [ Opti Light] but only had 1 treatment and this can take 2-3 treatments.I am doing 1 treatment a month.I have been battling over a year I can’t watch TV or read without holding my eyes open with my fingers.

Thank you. I feel your pain. Had mild dry eyes prior to cataract surgery and not extremely dry eyes post surgery. I have only heard about restasis, so appreciate hearing about other treatment options. I can watch TV, but cannot read without vision blurring within about 5 minutes.
Hope to be prescribed something shortly. Apparently, there is also a nasal spray that is new, but uncovered and about $500/mo.
