Answer #1

you mean renew tears yeah lol im taking them now I have pink eye and im usin them as over the counter they havnt gave me any side effects…yet!!!

Answer #2

NO I am talking about Restasis

Answer #3

No, those are not side effects of this drug… (generic name is Cyclosporine) the only side effect might be burning eyes. Then I’d suggest finding another medication that relieves dry eyes.

Answer #4

I’ve been using Restasis for about 10 weeks now. I now have have blurry vision and I feel like there is always something in my right eye. It has also affected my reading. I went to see my eye doctor 2 days ago and he said he thought the Restasis was making the bad oils come out of my eyes causing the blurred vision.

Answer #5

Actually after I posted I did a research on it and they are side effects:

SIDE EFFECTS: Burning, stinging, redness, pain, or itching of the eye may occur. Blurred vision, feeling as if something is in the eye, or eye discharge may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. An allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, severe itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
