Dr. Matthew Ward and Dr. James Blasco presented information on evaporative dry eye to a group of 16 guests over wine and cheese appetizers. The doctors shared their own personal struggles with dry eye, and Dr. Bernard Lee had one of his eyes treated in front of the guests.
The Eye Care of Iowa Dry Eye Clinic continues to be a success. At this point, we have been treating evaporative dry eye with the LipiFlow system for 6 weeks, and we have treated 30 patients. Many of our patients are driving 3-4 hours to have the treatment. This is really a testiment to that fact that many people have dry eye, and have tried other methods to improve their symptoms, such as artificial tears and gels, warm compresses, doxycycline, Restasis, and other methods that are just not working! Many of our patients are noticing a huge improvement immediately after the procedure.
