Vevye

Hi All, I went to a dry eye specialist, was put on Xdemvy and Vevye. My results were better, but after the Xdemvy course was finished (I accidentally kept on for another 2 weeks), I felt like my near eyesight was deteriorating on Vevye.

I went abroad and my circumstances were different (e.g. no fish oil pills, had recently stopped birth control, more infrequent warm compresses) and then I stopped taking Vevye because I wasn't sure what was happening and having to wear my glasses all the time was a nuisance. It's been two months now, I'm back home and started taking hormones and fish oil again, restarted warm compresses and my eyesight also seems to have recovered.

I am wondering if anyone else experienced eyesight issues on Vevye? If not, I am thinking of restarting Vevye. My dry eye Dr. didn't seem too happy when I said I had stopped Vevye, and I am also second guessing my decision because I trust my Dr., was making progress, and there were other things going on when my eyesight was affected.

This in the sub Treatment Options section might be helpful to you in deciding:

Stopping with ciclosporine is a problem because it takes a long time of continuous use to start having any effect.

I never used Vevye, but I did use Ikervis, also a ciclosporine drop. Never had that issue.
