dry eye was started.
I wanted to thank the doctor as I did find the Soothe eye drops and they are remarkable.......Thank you.... What a difference...
This is what helped me during a bad dry eye period.
During the day: Thera Tears individual vials
Bedtime: Thera Tears Liquid Gel
and
A small dab of Refresh PM
** I also covered my eyes with either
Glad's Press & Seal or Renalds Wrap,
with a wash rag folded over that.
Waking-Up Mist with Natures Tears Eye Mist

Hope this helps. Good luck
as far as i know, there is no known drug interaction problem with restasis and any steroid. caution should always be used, however. also, dont expect immediate results on restasis...it sometimes take 2-3 months before the patient notices significant relief.
have you tried "soothe" brand over-the-counter lubricant eyedrops? it has FISH OIL in it, and i have had a lot of success recommending it to patients with chronic dry eye. it comes in an orange & purple box, and may be hard to find. it runs about $10/bottle...MUCH less than restasis (like $90/bottle!) its an emulsion (like oil & water), so you need to shake it up before use.
