Greetings @mtpeony. It is great to see you on Connect. I was just closing up for the night and saw the word Xiidra. Until last week, I have been on Xiidra for several years. It has done a very good job of keeping my dry eyes moist and happy. Today I had to go back to another older treatment option because my insurance no longer covers Xiidra.....why???? because there is no generic.

So.....unfortunately, I feel the same way with the new/old medication. I took before Xiidra. Burning, blurring, and discomfort. Just like you, I hope my body makes some adjustments.

I think if you hang in there with Xiidra, your issues might clear up. You will make the correct decision.
May you be healthy and happy.

Try using a preservative free eyedropper first then 5 min. later use the Xiidra. Works for me.

I tried Xiidra for 3 weeks
It burned my eyes and I get headaches . So right now I’m back on Restasis
