How Do Autologous Serum Tears Work - and Are They for Me?

Dry eye disease can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and disruptive to daily life. For many people, standard treatments like artificial tears, prescription eye drops, warm compresses, or punctal plugs provide enough relief. But for patients with moderate to severe dry eye - especially when other treatments haven’t worked - autologous serum tears may be an effective next step.


What Are Autologous Serum Tears?

If you suffer from chronic dry eye symptoms like burning, stinging, blurred vision, or a constant gritty sensation, you may have tried countless over-the-counter eye drops with little relief. For patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease, autologous serum tears offer an advanced, biologically natural treatment option designed to heal and restore the ocular surface.

Knowing what questions to ask can help you make confident, informed decisions.
