Hello, my friends. I was diagnosed with Sjogrens a certain period ago. I have the symptoms of dry eye. I was prescribed Restasis, but it is not helping much. I would really like to know what I can use more for my problem. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me something more about this.

Hi, there. You should talk to your doctor. There is a simple procedure called punctual occlusion. By this, canals in eyelids that drain tears are blocked. In this way, tears are being held in the eye. This moisturizes your eyes. You can also try with Lacrisert. It lubricates your eye and it is put daily. If you have an inflammation, topical corticosteroids are recommended. In any case, consult your ophthalmologist. Bye!
