LACRISERT® – an Option for Patients with Severe Dry Eye Syndrome

We now have LACRISERT^® available in the office for the treatment of dry eye syndrome.  So far the results have been promising.  LACRISERT^® is inserted inside your lower lid once or twice a day.  Lacrisert slowly releases supplemental tears to your eyes throughout the day.

Most patients have found that using the LACRISERT^® once a day provides sufficient relief for most of the workday.  When the LACRISERT^® has almost completely dissolved it tends to not stay trapped inside the lower lid, causing intermittent blurred vision.  A drop of artificial tears flushes out the last remnant restoring vision.

Please feel free to call the office to see if LACRISERT^® may be an option for your dry eyes.
