How it works
The fluid-filled space between lens and cornea provides continuous lubrication, bypassing the tear film entirely and preventing desiccation. Considered for severe refractory dry eye.
Requires fitting by a specialist optometrist. Expensive and time-consuming to insert and remove. Considered a specialty option for severe dry eye unresponsive to standard treatment.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
