I started Restasis a month ago, for persistent dry eye. I also have blepharitis and ocular rosacea, Today I noticed my left eye has lost most of its eye lashes... Is this likely due to the Restasis? I use Ocusoft to clean the eyelids every morning, and have for years. What should I do?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The loss of eyelashes is very common in blepharitis. Once the blepharitis subsides the lashes will most likely grow back.
