Pazeo is an allergy eye drop that is new and is meant to replace Pataday which is the #1 prescription allergy eye drops. restasis is the definitive treatment for moderate or severe dry eyes but it takes 5-6 months to work and often strings when starting out. My wife and I both take restasis and have for several years. JCH MD
I also was using Restasus and had similar problems like the one you described. He prescribed Pazeo eye drops and they have helped me tremendously. I think they are new on the market.
Oral minocyline (a type of tetracycline) for 3 months can do tremendous good. Oral omega three (fish oil ) get the enteric coated and take one with dinner for 10 days then add a second one with breakfast can also help.

Dear JCH MD,
Thank you for your advice. I will call to make an appt. with a dermatologist.

1. Probably need to give up the idea of wearing contacts.
2. Use the search feature and read about dry eye treatment.
3. Dry eye and ocular rosacea are CHRONIC conditions. That means they don't go away and your CONTROL them not CURE them.
Be sure you've also seen a good dermatologist.
