What are Autologous Serum Eye Drops?
Autologous Serum Eye Drops, or ASED, are made by combining a patient’s own serum with sterile, preservative-free saline. The concept of using serum as an eye drop is based on the biochemical similarities between an individual’s serum and natural tears. This solution contains growth factors and vitamins that may help heal epithelial defects and relieve symptoms of severe dry eye.

Conventional Treatment for Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is a chronic lack of moisture in the eye. If left untreated, dry eye syndrome may weaken vision and lead to eye infections. Most people don’t realize that dry eye syndrome can sometimes be so severe that conventional treatments do not work at all.
