Autologous Serum Eye Drops: A Breakthrough Solution to Dry Eye
At Eye Q Optometrist, we provide cutting-edge solutions for patients struggling with severe dry eye syndrome. One of the most innovative and effective treatments we offer is autologous serum eye drops (ASEDs)—a natural, personalized therapy made from your own blood. These advanced drops help soothe irritation, promote healing, and provide long-lasting relief for even the most persistent dry eye symptoms.
What Are Autologous Serum Eye Drops?
Autologous serum eye drops are a biologically tailored treatment created from a patient’s blood serum. The serum is separated, diluted, and processed into sterile eye drops which contain growth factors, nutrients, and antibodies that closely mimic the composition of natural tears.
This makes ASEDs uniquely effective in promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and restoring the eye’s surface.
How Do ASEDs Treat Severe Dry Eye?
Patients with severe dry eye often experience damage to the corneal surface and chronic inflammation due to a lack of sufficient tear production. Unlike artificial tears, which only provide temporary relief, ASEDs target the underlying causes of dry eye by:
Promoting Healing: The growth factors stimulate tissue repair and regeneration of the eye’s surface.
Reducing Inflammation: Natural anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation and redness.
Restoring Tear Film: ASEDs replenish components missing in low quality tears, improving hydration and comfort.

Benefits of Autologous Serum Eye Drops
- Natural and Safe: Since they're made from your own blood, they eliminate the risk of adverse reactions.
- Effective Relief: ASEDs address the root causes of severe dry eye rather than masking symptoms.
- Custom Treatment: These drops are specifically tailored to each patient’s unique condition.
- Long-Term Results: They promote healing and restore comfort for lasting relief.
The Process of Creating ASEDs
Here's how ASEDs are created to ensure effective dry eye treatment:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
- Serum Extraction: The blood is processed in a sterile environment to separate the serum.
- Dilution and Sterilization: The serum is diluted with a saline solution and sterilized to create safe, effective eye drops.
- Custom Formulation: The drops are tailored to the patient’s needs. They're also put in vials for easy use.
This process ensures that the treatment is entirely natural, biocompatible, and free from preservatives or additives that may cause irritation.
