Wondering what you may expect when starting treatment? Hear about Ken's experience and learn about another step in his chronic dry eye journey.
Take Xiidra twice a day, every day–as recommended by your eye doctor. As you adjust to your new eye care routine, set a reminder to apply one drop of Xiidra in each eye, twice a day, approximately 12 hours apart. To help avoid eye injury or contamination of the solution, don't touch the container tip to your eye or any surface.
Xiidra comes in single-use containers–enough for 30 or 90 days, depending on your prescription. Each container holds enough medicine to treat both of your eyes for one application. Once the container is opened, it is important that you apply Xiidra right away. Then throw out the container along with any unused solution. Don't save it for later.
If you wear contacts, remove them before using Xiidra. Then wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
The most common side effects of Xiidra include:
It's important to know that Xiidra can take time to work, and it may take some time for you to see symptom relief.
In clinical trials, Xiidra was shown to, on average, reduce symptoms of eye dryness in as little as 2 weeks in 2 out of 4 studies, for some patients with improvements observed at 6 and 12 weeks in all 4 studies, with continued twice‐daily use.
Dry eye is considered chronic and may be progressive. Be sure to use Xiidra as directed by your doctor—and discuss any questions with them.
For every 20 minutes of screen time you spend, take a 20-second break to look into the distance.
Disconnect from your devices and take a break.
Low humidity can make chronic dry eye symptoms worse.
Adjust work area and computer for comfort.
