I've been using Restasis 0.05% Ophthalmic Emulsion Single Use for about two months now, and I've seen a significant improvement in my chronic dry eye symptoms. The burning and stinging have decreased, and my eyes feel more comfortable overall. However, I've had some eye irritation and redness, which I'm hoping will go away with continued use. Has anyone else experienced similar side effects, and if so, how long did they last? Additionally, I'm curious about the possibility of allergic reactions. My doctor told me about the signs to look out for, but I've heard some horror stories online that have me a bit worried.

Has anyone else experienced any of these, like trouble breathing or changes in eyesight? I've also seen some comments about a potential cough — is that common? I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips for managing them. What's everyone's general experience been like with this medication?
