Dry Eyes Treatment: Cequa

Dry Eyes Treatment with Cequa:
Lasting Relief for Persistent Dryness

Cequa Logo

If you’re dealing with the discomfort of dry eyes, you know how frustrating it can be. Cequa is a prescription eye drop that offers relief for those suffering from dry eye disease. Unlike over-the-counter drops, Cequa is specifically designed to target inflammation, which is a primary cause of dry eyes, providing more effective, long-term relief.

What is Cequa?

Cequa is a prescription medication that helps treat chronic dry eye by delivering cyclosporine—a powerful anti-inflammatory agent—directly to the eyes. Its unique formulation allows it to penetrate deeper into the eye’s tissues, providing more effective results for patients with moderate to severe dry eye symptoms. Cequa reduces inflammation in the tear ducts, improving natural tear production over time.

How Cequa Works

Cequa (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.09% is FDA-approved for treating dry eye disease by reducing inflammation. Inflammation is a key factor in causing dryness and irritation. Cequa helps patients produce healthier tears by preventing the immune system from attacking the glands that produce tears. With consistent use, patients experience increased tear production and relief from common dry eye symptoms such as:

  • Redness
  • Irritation or burning
  • Blurry vision
  • Sensitivity to light

Is Cequa Right for You?

If you experience chronic dry eyes that don’t improve with artificial tears or feel that your eyes are consistently uncomfortable, Cequa may be a good option. Patients who need a longer-term solution beyond temporary relief should discuss Cequa with their eye care provider.

Cequa is especially beneficial if you have:

  • Persistent dryness or irritation
  • Difficulty with contact lenses due to dry eyes
  • Limited improvement from other treatments

How to Use Cequa

Cequa is typically used twice a day, with one drop applied to each eye in the morning and evening. For best results, it’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

Here’s how to use Cequa effectively:

  1. Wash your hands before application.
  2. Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket.
  3. Place one drop of Cequa into the lower eyelid.
  4. Close your eyes and gently press on the inner corners of your eyelids to prevent the drop from draining out.
  5. Wait at least 15 minutes before inserting contact lenses.

Potential Side Effects

Like any medication, Cequa can have side effects, but they are usually mild and temporary. Some of the most common include:

  • Temporary stinging or burning
  • Blurry vision
  • Eye redness

If any severe or lasting side effects occur, it’s important to contact your doctor right away.
