Dry Eye Therapy in Springfield, MO
The eyes tell more than words could ever say, but when you’re suffering from severe dry eyes, it can be difficult to show your true emotions. From constantly rubbing your eyes to relieve a vicious itch or struggling to keep your eyes open while at your computer, dry eyes can become a large inconvenience to your everyday life. Luckily, you don’t have to suffer any longer thanks to the serum tears treatment at Bentley Skincare & Wellness.
What is Dry Eye Therapy?
Dry eye therapy is designed for those suffering from itching, burning, and stinging sensations constantly appearing in the eyes. Typically, conventional eye drops are prescribed to alleviate this pain and discomfort, but doesn’t always solve the problem for the future. Serum tears, on the other hand, supply beneficial substances that nurture your eyes—Vitamin A, fibronectin, neurotrophic and epidermal growth factor. All of these can restore the balance to your eyes with a little help from your blood.
You heard that correctly, in order to create the eye drops you need, we take your blood and extract the serum (clear fluid found in your blood) from it. By incorporating the serum from your blood into the eye drops, you’ll have a fully customized eye drop designed specifically for your needs. As a result, you can expect healthy tissue to regrow and your painful and unpleasant symptoms to disappear.
Our team of professionals will discuss previous eye drops you’ve been prescribed and the results you experienced from them, before determining if tear serum is the best option for you. Once our consultation is complete, we’ll draw your blood and have it processed—eliminating blood cells, platelets, and other components—bringing you a new lease on your eyes with personalized tear serum.

Your drops will come in small vials that will need to be refrigerated once opened. An opened vial should be used within 48-hours to avoid further irritation or complications. The best part is you can use serum tears as often as you need. To further understand how often you should use tear serum, we’ll discuss your treatment plan upon pickup of your drops.
Yes, anyone suffering from dry eyes can greatly benefit from serum tears. We do however acknowledge that these eye drops may not be the most suitable option for everyone. If you’ve only recently developed extreme dry eye and you haven’t yet tried conventional eye drops, we may suggest you do that before moving forward.
Additionally, we’ll provide you with other tips to try before committing to serum tears. These tips include resting your eyes on a regular basis, buying a humidifier, avoiding places with high air circulation, and wearing blue light glasses while working at the computer.
Once your customized serum tears have been created, you should have enough vials to last you four to six months, depending on how often you plan to use them. It’s important to remember that full results may not be instantaneous, but lubrication of the eyes will be noticeable immediately. When your supply runs out, you can come back to the clinic and we will discuss with you how to move forward with future treatments.
