Any suggestions.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your husband is having extreme dry eyes. Restasis is safe for treatment of dry eyes and it is one of the first line of treatment used in dry eyes which are not responding to usual drugs. Hope the information is helpful to you. Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you With regards
