Haven't sorry. I use Blink brand for contacts or regular Blink when I'm not wearing them. It works pretty well for me- most of the time. There are days where nothing helps and I just have to have my eyes closed a lot.

I have started using it 3 weeks ago. They say it can take a couple of months before I notice any improvement. I have not experienced any stinging, altho' I was warned that I might. Of course the only thing I've had wrong with my eyes, to date, is extreme dryness.

I put off starting it, but my eyes were driving me nuts. I was putting Refresh drops in my eyes numerous times a day. I was told by a friend to try the nighttime Refresh ointment. That has worked very well. It feels icky when you first put it in your eyes, because it is gooey, but not painful, at all. It really is very comforting and I don't need to use the tears for hours. So comforting that I debated on not starting the Restassis. I decided to start it, though because it can actually help you produce tears, while the artificial tears and ointments just soothe temporarily. You can still use those products while taking the Restassis, until it starts working.

I think I'm rambling, now. Just relating my experience, for what it's worth.

Thanks. Trish

I tried restasis but had an allergic reaction with it. I got sores/scabs on eyelids and under eyes. Cleared up after stopping. Currently am on Lotemax a steroid eye drop and it helps alot. I also really like using the refresh ointment at night. Hoping when get on a treatment for my RA that works well, still working on a good combination for me probably starting biologic after heal from hip surgery
