Discover a prescription preservative-free treatment option for your moderate to severe dry eye patients

Symptom Relief Results

The once-daily LACRISERT® delivery system can provide all-day lubrication to protect the eye*

The LACRISERT® insert softens within 1 hour and dissolves in 14 to 18 hours†

*In most patients, one LACRISERT® placed into each eye, once daily, is usually effective in providing all-day symptom relief. Some patients may require twice daily use for optimal results.

†Based on pre-clinical data.

  • Remain symptomatic in spite of frequent use of artificial tears
  • Are unwilling to frequently apply artificial tears or use ointments or gels
  • Want to continue wearing contact lenses
  • Have undergone LASIK or cataract surgery
  • Suffer from dry eye symptoms secondary to Sjögren’s syndrome
