 Autologous serum tears are eye drops made from the patient’s own plasma: a natural healing agent in our own bodies. These drops enable the cornea to heal itself.

 A procedure that provides long-lasting relief from dry eye & blepharitis, both of these being types of inflammation. It is a deep cleaning of the eyelids, exfoliating and clearing debris from the edge of your lids and eyelashes. 

 Punctal plugs are placed in the drainage system of the eye (puncta), to prevent the tears from draining too quickly. This treatment requires re-application of the plugs.
