A member asked:
Of these eyedrops: restasis, pataday, lotemax (loteprednol) and azasite which is best?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends why: The eye drops are for different indications- Restasis is for chronic dry eyes; Pataday is for eye inflamation due to allergies. Lotemax is used short term for acute inflammation, and is not for long-term use. Azasite is an antibiotic, for bacterial infections.
