Edible Reno-Tahoe is Northern Nevada’s premier food and lifestyle magazine, spotlighting the people and places that shape wellness and culture across the region. In their Fall 2025 Health & Wellness Guide, NVision Optix was recognized under Exceptional Health Care Providers for delivering cutting-edge solutions in eye care, including one of the most advanced treatments available for chronic dry eye: serum tears.
From the Fall 2025 issue of Edible Reno-Tahoe:
“Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic, often debilitating condition that affects hundreds of millions worldwide. Characterized by persistent discomfort, blurred vision, and an unstable tear film, DED can significantly impair daily life. For those facing severe dry eye, especially individuals with autoimmune conditions, conventional treatments often provide only limited, short-term relief.
Serum tears offer a transformative alternative and are available at NVision Optix. Derived entirely from a patient’s own blood, these autologous eye drops offer a 100 percent natural and personalized solution that supports true corneal healing, rather than just temporary symptom relief.
Unlike artificial tears that merely lubricate, serum tears deliver a potent, therapeutic blend of growth factors, vitamins, immunoglobulins, and essential proteins naturally found in healthy human tears. These critical components stimulate epithelial cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair.
Another defining advantage of serum tears is their biocompatibility. Because they originate from the patient’s own body, the risk of allergic reactions or sensitivities is extremely low. This makes them ideal for individuals who have adverse responses to preservatives or chemicals found in conventional eye drops. Their preservative-free formulation also allows for frequent, long-term use without the cumulative toxicity that can accompany traditional therapies.
Clinical studies consistently highlight the remarkable effectiveness of serum tears in improving both symptoms and ocular health. Patients often report significant reductions in eye discomfort, tearing, and light sensitivity, along with measurable improvements in tear film stability and corneal surface integrity.”
Why It Matters For Northern Nevada
Between Reno’s high-desert climate, year-round winds, and seasonal allergens, dry eye disease is especially common here. For patients with severe or treatment-resistant dry eye, particularly those with autoimmune conditions, serum tears represent more than a treatment. They offer renewed comfort, clarity, and confidence.
NVision Optix makes the process simple: a quick blood draw, specialized preparation, and within about a week, patients receive their personalized drops. The results often speak for themselves, with many experiencing long-term relief, improved hydration, and better visual function.
