Restasis is available anywhere in the US.

Does it work ? (posted: 3 dec 2004)

We have had mixed reports from laser eye surgery patients - unsurprisingly, since there is such a variety of conditions in terms of both exact causes and symptoms. Some have reported benefits, some have reported that it did not help them. Some have reported unacceptable side effects.

Should I try it? If so for how long? (posted: 3 dec 2004)

Our view is that, if your doctor recommends it, you should try it. We have received mixed reports about the time necessary before it may show a benefit. Typically they seem to be recommending a three month trial.
