Is the new eye drop xiidra safe? i read that it can cause permanent eye blurriness and an increase of blood in the lining of the eye. i have seen good results, but is it safe to use ?

Xiidra: This product is used to treat dry eye disease. In my opinion there are certain ophthalmologist who specialize in this disorder and I would consult one if this is your problem. I also recommend one who is very familiar and has experience in the use of xiidra eye drops and the knows results of the trials with xiidra. Proper care of dry eye syndrome requires prolonged treatment and follow-up care.
