Advice & Tips: Restasis was originally prescribed for my very dry eyes. Now I know the dry eye condition caused my tearing and Conjunctivitis. I'm so glad that my eyes no longer tear all day and I can now open my eyes upon awakening and I can see clearly. Before this medication when I woke, I had to unglue my eye lashes, rinse out my eyes and wait about an hour (for the tearing to subside), before I could even attempt to read anything.
