Restasis commercials

Seems like they have been on long enough so that you would have to have been comatose over the past decade to not have seen one @ least a few dozen times already.

The commercial that gets shown the most recently was shot in a huge and ultra-sanitized waiting room, with pure white furnishings and decor. All of the people are walking in slo-mo, and moving their lips silently...its as if they are floating along as souls before receiving Judgement by their Creator.

By perusing the internet. apparently the main character who does the voiceover & prescribing is a physician IRL, her name is Dr. Alison Tendler, ophthalmologist from Sioux Falls, SD.

When she writes the Rx on a pad, its not in the typical undecipherable scribble that most DOs and MDs use, but in large clear print and she underlines it too...lol!!

The drops are merely for those poor saps afflicted with so-called "chronic" dry eye, but the ad gives the impression that it cures total blindness, with all of the hype and don't you dare touch the tip of the "vial" to the surface of your eye or any other. As if far more millions have never used plain eyedrops from a vial to relieve or reduce redness/bloodshot eyes.

Apparently "twice a day" costs $100 a month for this pharma product, and the loooongtime ad campaign must be resulting in a continual upsurge of orders for the Rx, otherwise these ads with the SAME "actress" would have ended long ago.
