Not all eye drops work the same way.
Xiidra was made to target inflammation—so it can get to the root of your chronic dry eye symptoms.

As many as 1,500,000 people§ have been prescribed Xiidra.
†Xiidra may provide lasting symptom relief for some patients with continued twice-daily use. In clinical studies, Xiidra reduced symptoms of eye dryness at 2 weeks in 2 out of 4 studies, with improvements observed at 6 and 12 weeks in all 4 studies.

#Study Design: Soft contact lens wearers with dryness symptoms at study start (n=40) all received Xiidra twice a day for 12 weeks. Participants were instructed to remove their contact lenses prior to instillation of Xiidra and wait 15 minutes prior to placing the lenses back in their eyes.
Study Limitation: This was a single-center, open label study with no control treatment arm. Data are based on descriptive statistics and should be interpreted with caution. All participants had to have used artificial tears or rewetting drops at least once in the month prior to study start; only 30% of participants had used these eye drops twice per day (Xiidra dosing frequency), while the remaining 70% either had to increase (62%) or decrease (8%) their daily dosing frequency during the study. It is possible that the more frequent use of Xiidra as compared to previous drops could have contributed to the reduction in symptoms in some participants.
