Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease occurs when the eyes cannot maintain a healthy tear film, either because tear production is low, the tear quality is poor, or when tears evaporate too quickly.
Key points
- Dry eye disease can affect anyone, but it is more common in older adults and in people who spend long periods looking at screens.
- Inflammation on the eye surface can reduce tear production, and ciclosporin works by addressing that inflammation to help the eyes restore their own tear supply.
What is dry eye disease?
Dry eye disease is a condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears they make do not stay on the surface long enough, leaving the eye uncomfortable and exposed.
Which medicine is listed for dry eye disease?
The only medicine listed for dry eye disease is Opticare Ointment, a 2mg ciclosporin tube. It belongs to a class of anti-inflammatory medicines that act on the eye surface to help restore natural tear production.
