They are designed like that ... there is no preservative in Restasis and if you use it the next day there may be a risk of microbial growth. As patients on cyclosporine may be immunocompromised it is very risky to reuse the contents of a vial, especially in the eyes.

You could get more information from the manufacturer ALLERGAN.
