`"At first I didn't give my dry eyes much thought, but after a while they began
`bothering me throughout the day, causing me to take frequent breaks from
`filming to reapply over the counter eye drops," said Marisa. "After examining my
`eyes, my eye doctor told me I have a type of Chronic Dry Eye disease. I was relieved
`to know there was a reason why my eyes were feeling so dry, and I now use
`RESTASIS to help my eyes make more of their own tears."
`®
`
`RESTASIS (cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion) 0.05% is the only prescription
`®
`available to help people whose tear production is suppressed due to ocular
`inflammation make more of their own real tears. RESTASIS did not increase tear
`®
`production in patients using anti-inflammatory eye drops or tear duct plugs.
`
`Approximately 31 million Americans suffer from dry eye. One type of CDE is caused
`by decrease tear production due to ocular inflammation. Healthy eyes need tears.
`Without enough tears, the film protecting the eye can break down, creating dry
`spots on the surface of the eye.
`
`"Like Marisa, many patients struggle for years with their dry eye symptoms before
`discussing them with their eye doctors," said Christopher E. Starr, M.D., Associate
`Professor of Ophthalmology, Director of Laser Vision Correction Surgery, and
`Director of the Fellowship Program in Cornea, Cataract & Refractive Surgery at
`Weill Cornell Medicine, New York-Presbyterian Hospital. "Chronic Dry Eye is a
`progressive disease, and if you find that you're experiencing dry eyes and you're
`using artificial tears more often, it's important to see your eye doctor to discuss
`treatment options."
`
`As part of this partnership, Marisa is thrilled to announce that Allergan will be
`donating $1 for every Dry Eye Quiz taken on RESTASIS.com to Guide Dogs for the
`Blind, a charitable organization that empowers the lives of the visually impaired by
`fostering exceptional partnerships between people, dogs and communities*.
