What has NICE said?
Ciclosporin (Ikervis) is recommended as a possible treatment for people with dry eye disease that has not improved despite treatment with artificial tears.
What does this mean for me?
If you have severe dry eye disease that has not improved despite treatment with artificial tears, and your doctor thinks that ciclosporin is the right treatment, you should be able to have the treatment on the NHS.
Ciclosporin should be available on the NHS within 3 months of the guidance being issued.
