Comment:
I developed dry eye after cataract surgery and diagnosed with Sjorgen's syndrome. Was and I am on Restasis. We added the Lacrisert. I LOVE it!! Most of my symptoms have disappeared. Once you have mastered putting them in they are an essential part of my daily routine. Would suggest anyone with dry eye to give them a try!

The product is effective in the eye, but it is very difficult and frustrating to position. I finally gave up, so it was a waste of money!

I have been on this drug for a month now and I just cant keep them in my eye. I tried using them at night however they come out and the tears are so sticky I cant see untill I use an eye rinse to clean them out.

My life is 500% better with these things. I have bad MGD/bleph. Severe dry eye, but I have tears. So this product puts the "oil" on top of my tears so they don't evaporate. I can now surf in super salty tropical water without issue. Life changer.

I bit of a learning curve, but if you suffer from EXTREME dry eyes then it's a life changer. (mine due to sjogren's syndrome...check with your dr. to see if you might also have it. Autoimmune disorder causing dry eyes, mouth, vagina, etc.) This was a miracle for me and now i feel like a normal person. If I could go to work for the company selling it, i would!
