What Are The Side Effects Of Long Term Usage Of Restasis Eye Drops?
For the second time--what are the side effects (long term and short term) of Restasis? How dare you waste my time filling out these forms for quick answers and then want to charge me $15.00 for the answer. Do you think I am completely senile? I can get the answer quicker and cheaper elsewhere!!!!

Hi,
Restasis (cyclosporine) eye drops can cause some transient burning or pain in eyes after instillation. Long term use may cause redness, hyperemia of eyes, foreign body sensation and itching. Often, these effects are minor and well tolerated by patients.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
