Busy Winter and more testimonials
Good morning everyone
It's been a very busy winter at Eye Care of Iowa. We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
January is one of the worst dry eye months. Our seminars have been packed with people experiencing dry eye this season. At this point, we are continuing to provide a FREE dry eye workup to anyone who comes to our seminars. At this point, the following dates are scheduled for seminars:
Tuesday Jan 28
Tuesday Feb 11
Tuesday Feb 25
Again, all seminars begin at 6:30 and last about 1.5 hours. Snacks and drink provided.
For more info, or to RSVP for the next seminar, call our Pleasant Hill office at 515-265-5322
Once again, as it has been busy, I haven't been keeping up to date on patients returning after the LipiFlow treatment. As of today, Eye Care of Iowa has done over 60 procedures.
Patient testimonal #5
Patient E.S., a 59 year old female, complained of dryness throughout the day, and excessive watering of her eyes, which was worse in the morning. She had close to 60% atrophy of her glands, but the oil that we were able to express looked good. I was optomistic that she would benefit from the procedure. She elected to have the procedure done.
She returned two months later, noting a significant decrease in her watery eyes throughout the day. They were still a little watery in the first hour of waking up. I reminded her that in order for the oil to mix with the water portion of our tears, we need to be blinking our eyes. Obviously, we don't blink while we are asleep, so it is natural that we need a little time upon waking to blink and get that healthy oil out of the glands and into the tears.
She also expressed a delight in being able to see more sharply while driving.
