dry eye disease
"I have had dry eyes for about 4 yrs and had been on Restasis for about 3 years.  I also have Myasthenia gravis (MGS).  Redraw is did not work well for me and my eyes were always red and dry.  It was to the point where I could not wear my contacts or tolerate any direct air like a fan.  I live in Arizona where it's really dry too.  When I heard about Xiidra, I asked my Optometrist for an Rx to see if it would work for me.  The difference was immediate.  There is a taste with it but it has gone away and there is some burning.  My doc also suggested I continue with the Restasis since the two drugs work differently.  My eyes are doing much better, the redness is gone and I can see better."
