Anyone use autologous serum eye drops (ASED)?

I don’t use them for your condition, but for extreme dry eyes caused by an autoimmune syndrome. For this condition, they have worked better than any of the very expensive prescription eye drops.

I never considered how cost effective ASEDs were. One blood draw gave me an entire year supply of ASEDs. There was a processing cost that was billed to insurance so I didn't pay much out of pocket. I was more focused on how gross the ASEDs seemed.

You are right , the Refresh celluvisc eye drops I now use for NK are expensive.

@edie2716 ... my corneal defect healed slowly but it finally closed after about 6 months. The ASEDs helped. I was diligent about the ASEDs because I didn't want to waste them. My ophthalmologist made sure that I understood how serious it was. I didn't like thinking about the corneal meltdown scenario.
