    This is the only thing that gives me any relief from my dry eyes associated with Sjogren's Syndrome. Much more effective than Restasis. I put them in every morning and don't think about them or notice them all day. If I forget them, my eyes are burning by lunchtime so much that I can't read or drive. It takes a little practice to get used to putting them in, but probably no more than contact lenses. The worst problem I have with them is having them fall off the applicator before I get them in my eyes. Published: July 08, 2009 ::

    I had used Lacriserts in my eyes for Sjogrens Syndrome since the late 80's. Then they quite making them. My eyes have gone through a trama time while using other products plus having my tear ducts plugged. I just learned that there is now a generic out and I am excited. I will be using them again. They will save my sight. Published: July 22, 2009 ::

    I have been using Lacriserts a few months for treatment of dry eye caused by Sjogren's Syndrome. It takes about 6 hours before they become effective, but my eyes feel much better all afternoon. I can actually go several hours without drops. Published: July 14, 2009 ::

    Extremely uncomfortable to place in, and keep in the lower eyelids. Easily comes out, if you sneeze, or gently rub eye. Produces very sticky tears, and when removed, the eye is excessively dry. A very bad experience with them. I used them for about 3 months hoping for some relief of my chronic condition. Published: September 22, 2008 ::
