How Emerging Gene & Cell Therapies Are Changing Eye Injections


Dry eyes are common. For many people, it means burning, gritty eyes and less comfort. For some, dry eye is driven by inflammation that lowers tear production. For those patients, Restasis 0.05% Ophthalmic Emulsion is a proven option. It is a topical medicine that helps increase tear production by lowering eye inflammation. The official prescribing label shows how it’s used: one drop twice daily, as directed by a doctor.
At the same time, eye medicine is changing fast. New gene therapies and cell therapies are redefining how doctors treat diseases inside the eye. These advances focus on the retina — the light-sensing tissue at the back of the eye. They often require injections or implanted cell devices delivered directly to the eye. In short: routine eye drops like Restasis 0.05% Ophthalmic Emulsion still matter for surface inflammation, while cutting-edge retinal work uses injections and implants.
What Restasis does — plain and simple
Restasis 0.05% Ophthalmic Emulsion contains cyclosporine. It acts as an immunomodulator. That means it calms certain inflammatory processes that can reduce tear production. Many patients notice improved comfort and more natural tears over weeks to months. The product website and label explain the intended use and the typical dosing instructions. As always, a doctor will advise when it’s right for you.
Side effects tend to be mild for most people. Some users report a brief stinging or burning on instillation. Serious side effects are rare. The FDA label lists the most common reactions and gives full safety details for patients and clinicians.
Note: availability can differ by country. For example, some UK guidance notes that ciclosporin 0.05% eye drops (Restasis®) are unlicensed in the UK and that clinicians often use licensed local alternatives first. That means your local health system may prefer a different cyclosporine formulation. Always check with your eye care team.
Why surface medicines (like drops) still matter
Not all eye disease happens at the back of the eye. Many common problems — dry eye, blepharitis, allergic redness — affect the front surface. Drops are safe and simple to use in the clinic or at home. Restasis 0.05% Ophthalmic Emulsion is one of those front-line surface treatments for inflammation-related dry eye. It’s easy to administer. It works over time. And it helps many people regain comfort and tear function.
Meanwhile, the retina needs different approaches. The retina sits inside the eye and is less reachable by surface drops. That is why retinal diseases often require injections or implanted devices to deliver medicine directly where it is needed.
The rise of retinal gene & cell therapies
In recent years, regulators and clinics have approved gene and cell therapies for retinal disease. These treatments aim to fix the root cause inside the eye. Some are one-time gene therapies. Some are living cell implants. Both types rely on precise delivery to the retina, usually via an injection or surgical implant placed under or into the retina. The FDA has issued guidance documents to help developers design safe and effective retinal gene therapy trials.
A notable milestone: the FDA has approved the first printed retinal gene therapies and, more recently, an encapsulated cell therapy for macular disease. These approvals show that the field is moving from theory to real, regulated treatments available to patients. These advances are changing how retinal disease is treated and studied.
