Ciclosporine eye drops or Ikervis

Hello Everyone,

Just got back from eye hospital having been prescribed ciclosporine eye drops at 2%. Apparently they also exist at a lower dose and are sold as Ikervis. I was ready to use them until I read some very negative reports on the web. Does anyone have any experience of them?

Thanks

Hi. Did you end up trying the cyclosporine? I’ve wondered about it, too, for severe dry eye. Currently no drops I’ve tried last long enough. I use Lacri-Lube daytime and nighttime. If you tried it, please share the pros and cons.
