Dry eyes : Canagliflozin or Invokana is for: Treating type 2 diabetes in certain patients. It is used along with diet and exercise. Dry eyes is not a common side effect. Most adverse effects are Genito urinary ( your physician can explain to you ). Restasis is not for immediate cure. Should be used for 3 to six months to assess its benefit. Lotemax (loteprednol) for inflammation from Restasis You use lubricants too
