Lacrisert (hydroxypropyl cellulose ophthalmic insert) is indicated for the following conditions:

  1. Moderate to severe dry eye syndromes: Lacrisert is used to treat dry eye syndromes, including keratoconjunctivitis sicca. It is especially indicated for patients who remain symptomatic after an adequate trial of therapy with artificial tear solutions.
  2. Exposure keratitis: Lacrisert is indicated for patients with exposure keratitis, which is a condition where the cornea is not properly protected by the eyelids, leading to inflammation and damage.
  3. Decreased corneal sensitivity: Lacrisert is indicated for patients with decreased corneal sensitivity, which can occur due to various factors and can lead to corneal damage.
  4. Recurrent corneal erosions: Lacrisert is indicated for patients with recurrent corneal erosions, which are repeated episodes of the cornea's surface layer detaching from the underlying tissue, causing pain and discomfort.
