Collaboration with Reno Host Lions Club to provide VIDARIS (ASED)
We are proud to announce our collaboration with the Reno Host Lions Club to help fund our life-improving VIDARIS program to distribute autologous serum eye drops (ASED), to patients in the Sacramento, CA area who cannot otherwise afford the drops. The Reno Host Lions Club’s $6,000 grant will make it possible for patients to avoid debilitating pain and potential loss of vision from severe dry eye, neurotrophic keratopathy and other corneal disorders.

ASED are a custom made and preservative-free eye drop produced from one’s own blood serum. Multiple studies have proven that ASED can be an effective treatment for patients suffering from severe dry eye, neurotrophic keratopathy, and other corneal epithelial disorders. Key components found in ASED include albumin, Vitamin A and epithelial growth factors that are important for healthy eyes.
To date, SDSEB has processed and distributed over 1,500 ASED prescriptions. Each batch of eye drops undergoes sterility testing, making our program unique, ensuring safety for our patients, and enabling us to meet our stringent quality requirements without a single failure due to contamination.
