"I got LASIK 6 years ago, and my eyes stopped producing enough tear film. I need constant eye drops. I thought I had tried everything when my new eye doctor told me to try Tyrvaya. I am only 6 days in, but I had immediate relief! I can feel tears in my eyes again! It does make me sneeze when I take it, and it feels like you're inhaling pepper. I used to use 4-5 vials of preservative-free eye drops per day. Now I'm down to 1-2! But I don't think my insurance will cover it... :("

"I used Restasis for approximately 18 months. Although Restasis increased tear production about 30%, the discomfort experienced inserting the drops never receded. It was very painful. I switched to Tyrvaya and my tear production increased approx. 80%. And only after a few days. No discomfort or sneezing whatsoever. This medication has been a lifesaver. And, with Tyrvaya discounts, I pay around $12 per month. I have had an immensely positive experience using Tyrvaya after years of eye dryness and discomfort."

"Years of suffering with severe dry eye. I was using the ointment at night and lots of drops during the day. After about 3 months of use, I would say that Tyrvaya helps, but is not a complete 'cure' for dry eye, especially at night. It is the best medicine that I have used so far, however. The bottle spraying mechanism needs work. You don't always get a good spray, and at the cost of the medication, it should spray every time."

"I believe to buy a works, however, I have extreme difficulty getting the sprayer to work. I have to work very hard at getting one spray to come out and rest on the nasal wall. This is very frustrating since I have to try and try again until I finally succeed in a minute or so later."

"I have had dry eye disease for years and Tyrvaya is the only product that has ever helped me. I could feel a difference and improvement right away and have continued using it for over 2 years now. It is still as effective as it was before. Minutes after administering it, I can feel my eyes being bathed in tears, and just knowing I am using my body’s mechanics to make my own tears makes me feel more confident in using it more and more. It has been a game-changer in my visual acuity and has helped me stay in contact lenses."

"Just started it. The sneezing is annoying, but the sore throat is worse. It lasts all day. Didn't take the second dose until 24 hours later as I didn't want the sore throat to become worse. It comes on within minutes of using the spray. Will continue using it in hopes sore throat eventually subsides. My dry eye is the result of brain surgery, so maybe not typical dry eye disease."

"Very good experience. You must be careful to follow directions as it will burn like pepper otherwise. But for the two weeks I tried a sample, I had much less dry eyes, itching, and redness. I wish my insurance would cover it."

"The doctor gave me a sample and it worked great almost immediately, but unfortunately, I can't afford the $600 co-pay for 30 days with my Medicare drug plan. It cleared up my blurred vision and I no longer woke up with a pain in my eye. Because of the cost, I guess I will go back to the issues when the sample runs out."

"I've been using this for 2 months and it has definitely helped more than the other dry eye RXs I've tried. It's expensive, but go to the Tyrvaya website for savings. If your doctor will submit a prior authorization and it's approved, you can pay $10 a month. Read and follow the directions exactly to help cut out burning throat and side effects. The one complaint is you're supposed to tilt the bottle practically sideways to hit the side nostril with spray. When the bottle is almost empty, you can't get the med to spray because of how far you have to tilt. You can get the 2 weeks per bottle use, but the bottle has enough for more, about a week more. But almost impossible to get it to spray. They dispense 2 bottles per month. Each bottle holds 2 weeks or more."

"After cataract surgery, dry, scratchy, gritty eyes. All eye drops were useless. TYRVAYA was the only treatment that worked. What a difference without any side effects."

"The samples worked GREAT and I was so excited, only to find it costs between $900 and $1921.73 for a 90-day prescription! Who has this kind of money? Medicare will not cover it nor the drug supplement."
