Eye Care of Iowa Dry Eye Clinic Ribbon Cutting Ceremony a Success- October 16th 2013

The official Eye Care of Iowa Dry Eye Clinic ribbon cutting ceremony was a success!  We were excited to see many familiar faces, as well as some new ones :) Guests snacked on cupcakes from Momma CT's (so good!), and were able to learn more about dry eye, and how the LipiFlow system could help those with dry eye issues due to meibomian gland issues/evaporative dry eye.  Multiple guests shared their own issues with varying levels of dry eye.  Many work on the computer throughout the day, and by the end of the afternoon, most expressed that they experienced at least some amount of dryness and irritation.  Cathy Jensen, executive director of the Pleasant Hill Chamber of Commerce, also spoke briefly on how the LipiFlow procedure has made a difference in her life.  She had the procedure done with Dr. Ward last month, and has found that she has less dryness through the day, and has been VERY happy with the outcome.  Thanks again to everyone that came and showed support.  We very much appreciate it!
