Dry eye and flares
So, what exactly is dry eye?
Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren't able to provide adequate lubrication to your eyes. Tears can be inadequate for many reasons (for example, if you don't produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears).
What are dry eye flare-ups?
Dry eye flare-ups are when your symptoms worsen for days or weeks at a time. 45% of dry eye patients reported having dry eye flares rather than continuous symptoms.*
Flare-ups can be triggered by:
Seasonal
allergies
Air
conditioning
Airplane
travel
Contact
lenses
Eye surgeries
Use of digital devices
Certain medications
~80% of patients who experience dry eye symptom flares (even while using artificial tears or being on chronic therapy) will have them again*†

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
EYSUVIS® should not be used if you have a viral infection in your eye. Talk to your doctor before using EYSUVIS® if you think you may have a viral, bacterial, or fungal eye infection.
Your doctor should examine your eyes before prescribing EYSUVIS®, to check for increased eye pressure or damage to the surface of the eye. Consult your doctor if pain, redness, itching, or inflammation develops or gets worse.
Wash your hands well before each use. Do not allow the dropper tip to touch any surface, as this may contaminate the suspension. Shake the bottle for two to three seconds before using. If a dose is missed, take the missed dose when remembered.
Remove contact lenses before using EYSUVIS®; they may be reinserted 15 minutes later.
The most common adverse drug reaction following the use of EYSUVIS® for two weeks was instillation site pain, which was reported in 5% of patients.
