As one of the most common reasons for patients (especially seniors) to seek ophthalmic care, dry eye disease causes eye discomfort, eye fatigue, visual disturbances, and tear film instability that, left untreated, can cause further damage. When treating dry eyes, the goal is to restore or maintain the normal amount of tears while alleviating dryness, relieving discomfort, and maintaining eye health.

Today, thanks to advances in regenerative medicine, PRP tears offer therapeutic value for improving the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
