“I began using YOUR TEARS, affectionately known as serum tears, in November of 2022. Menopause hit, was diagnosed with dry eye AND had to be fitted for glasses. Clearly, the best part of all that drama was finding relief using YOUR TEARS. It was suggested I use them two times a day but during certain times of the year, I use it as much as I want—especially when I am skiing! The process is easy, painless and quick!”
“I visited ARCpoint Labs and they are excellent. They drew my blood and made serum tears for my chronic dry eye within a few hours. It was easy and convenient to do. The serum tears work wonderfully for my dry eye and have made a big difference. I highly recommend them for your medical needs.”
HOW IT WORKS
Tips for Success
• Please eat and hydrate appropriately. It makes it easier for the technician to draw your blood.
• Once the blood is drawn, the serum is spun out and processed.
Please note: it will take approximately two hours to process your tears and have them ready for pick up.
• If it is warm outside, please bring a small cooler with an ice pack to transport your tears safely back home.
• Once home, place one vial in the refrigerator and freeze the rest.
