Patient case study:

Ar’Tee, a patient who addressed his dry eye symptoms head-on

Ar’Tee experienced his dry eye symptoms as an acute event that started just months before seeking treatment. But further evaluation of his eyes showed the signs of dry eye disease and an underlying cause of his symptoms. When Ar’Tee began treatment with Xiidra, he was able to find symptom relief early in his treatment journey.
