I tried these Lacriserts for dry eyes for about a week. They are small nuggets that release a moisture agent and place on the underside of your bottom eyelids. You really don’t feel them unless you think about it. If you can tolerate the mild blurring, you can use them during the day. I could not stand looking though mild blurring so I tried them at night while asleep. In the morning I just remove and discard them before I go to work. It has worked incredibly well for me. My eyes stay comfortable for 1-2 days and then they dry again. Most people have never heard of Lacrisert. I think Restasis has worked well for many patients, and that’s what we prescribe first. If you have tried many treatments for dry eyes or want something to supplement Restasis, you should try Lacrisert. We have samples if you would like to come for an eye exam.
