If your physician is not familiar with Qualified Autologous Serum Eye Drops, please feel free to share our website information with your eye care provider.
Once we receive your prescription from your eye care provider, you will receive a notification. This will allow you to place your order and schedule your blood draw through our premium phlebotomy providers, who will arrange a convenient appointment. Before your blood draw appointment, you will receive Ocubio’s Blood Draw Kit, which you will provide to the phlebotomist at the time of the blood draw.
Ocubio will process your blood at our FDA-certified blood center facility, ensuring the serum is prepared according to strict quality standards. After production, the serum eye drops will be delivered to your home in 24-48 hours, ready for use.
Your healthcare provider will provide detailed instructions on how to properly use the drops, including dosage and storage.
The price of Qualified Autologous Serum Eye Drops depends on the concentration prescribed by your physician. Although some insurance providers may reimburse this treatment when patients submit a claim, it is typically a self-pay service. However, at Ocubio, we believe that everyone should have access to cutting-edge eye care solutions. That’s why we are offering a 0% APR financing option for our Qualified Autologous Serum Eyedrops. You can now pay in 4 easy installments with no additional fees, ensuring that the care you need is accessible and affordable.
The amount of blood drawn for Qualified Autologous Serum Eye Drops typically ranges between 4 and 8 blood tubes, depending on the concentration your eye care provider prescribes. This is a small volume, similar to what would be drawn for a routine blood test. The process is quick and minimally invasive, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort.
To prepare for a blood draw for autologous serum eye drop preparation, you can follow these general guidelines:
Qualified Autologous Serum Eye Drops have been validated for flexible storage. Unopened bottles should be stored in a frozen state (-25° to -15°C (-13° to 5°F)) to maintain their integrity. Once a bottle is open, it can be stored either refrigerated at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F) or at room temperature up to 25°C (77°F) for up to 7 days, ensuring convenience and accessibility. Stop using the bottle and discard it after 7 days. Please ensure to check and follow the expiration date indicated on the label before use.
Ocubio has developed a fully validated manufacturing protocol and confirmed product stability under extreme conditions (30°C – 86°F, light exposure) for a duration longer than what is recommended for patient use. Qualified Autologous Serum Eye Drops are stored in sterile multidose preservative-free eyedropper bottles. These special bottles have a multi-dose closing tip system, which avoids the need for preservatives in the drug and prevents bacterial contamination over the duration of treatment. Additionally, Ocubio performs microbial filtration and sterility testing on every single batch.

Autologous blood eye drops have been widely used for ocular surface diseases for 46 years. Their effectiveness comes from proteins, vitamins, cytokines, and growth factors that aid corneal healing, mimicking natural tears. Unlike artificial tears, they provide therapeutic benefits beyond lubrication. They are now a recognized treatment in modern ophthalmologic practice.
Blood-derived products, including autologous serum tears (AST) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), have shown significant benefits in treating dry eye disease associated with systemic conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), offering superior biomechanical and biochemical properties compared to artificial tears, enhancing epithelial healing, reducing inflammation, and improving clinical symptoms and signs.
Autologous serum tears are a safe and effective adjunct therapy in improving both objective signs and subjective symptoms of ocular surface disorders associated with systemic autoimmune disease(s).
The autologous serum eye drops group showed prolongation of the tear BUT and a reduction in rose bengal staining score.
Autologous serum eyedrops were found effective in the treatment of severe dry eye disease, as evidenced by improvement of tear stability and ocular surface vital staining scores.
