I need to apply artificial tears more frequently than when I was taking Restasis. I now have chronic sinusitis and an itching rash below my lower eyelid. I have an opaque film on my eyes and blurred vision for several minutes after taking Xiidra.

The drug burns like hell for 15 minutes. After that the eyes are clear, but no improvement for the dry eyes. Expensive drug for nu use

I have been a longtime and successful Restasis user. When I saw Xiidra had a promotion and the cost was much lower than Restasis, I thought I would give it a try. Very disappointed with it. The first day I used it, it stung my eyes. Never had stinging with Restasis. I have only been using Xiidra 6 days but it is not as effective as Restasis for me. I have had to use over the counter drops in addition to the Xiidra which I never had to do with Restastis. My right eye feels dry and is burning. I am going to call my doctor and ask that he write me a prescription for Restasis again. I would rather pay more and be completely satisfied than use Xiidra which I find is a marginal product. After reading a lot of negative reviews on Xiidra today, I understand why they are offering a promotion on it. I haven't seen any rave reviews about Xiidra so I am going back to Restasis.

Been using this for 2 years and not any better. I feel it causes worse symptoms then without. I have not used it for two days to see what happens. I can see much better without it. Not so much sticky stuff in my eyes. Although they are still dry I'm better off using artificial tears and steroid if needed. Wish they would come up with something that really works.
