You can read the article here.

It is the opinion of Dr. Son Nguyen that Restasis CAN be effective in a very certain patient (a very specific, patient). Being a cyclosporin (in essence, an immunomodulator), Restasis is probably best reserved for patients exhibiting signs of inflammatory dry eye disease. Given the incredible cost and ridiculous amount of insurance pre-authorization hurdles, Dr. Nguyen generally uses Restasis as a drug of last resort.

If you suffer from dry eyes and have tried other treatment options that do not work, please consider visiting Morgan Hill Eyecare Optometry for treatment options often overlooked by other optometrists and ophthalmologists.
