First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether eye drops made from a patient's own blood (autologous serum) can relieve severe dry eye better than standard artificial tears. 46 adults with severe dry eye tried both diluted (20%) and full-strength (100%) serum drops, as well as artificial tears. The main goal was to see if symptoms improved, measured by a standard questionnaire.
