{"product_id":"autologous-eye-serum-drops","title":"Autologous Serum Eye Drops (ASED)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe meaning of autologous is that the donor and the recipient are the same person. The eye drops in this case are made from your own blood. Red blood cells and clotting factors are removed, leaving behind blood serum. This is diluted with a sterile, preservative-free solution to produce a tear substitute that is unique to the patient, and contains many important growth factors and nutrients normally found in healthy tears. Since blood and tears have an almost identical salinity and pH, there is no issue of burning or stinging upon usage. Because they are non-preserved, the drops are stored in the freezer until you need them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOnce I have a prescription, what is the process of getting autologous serum eye drops?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003csection data-id=\"70fe48e\" data-element_type=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\/*! elementor - v3.6.7 - 03-07-2022 *\/\u003cbr \/\u003e.elementor-toggle{text-align:left}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title{font-weight:700;line-height:1;margin:0;padding:15px;border-bottom:1px solid #d4d4d4;cursor:pointer;outline:none}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title .elementor-toggle-icon{display:inline-block;width:1em}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title .elementor-toggle-icon svg{-webkit-margin-start:-5px;margin-inline-start:-5px;width:1em;height:1em}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title .elementor-toggle-icon.elementor-toggle-icon-right{float:right;text-align:right}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title .elementor-toggle-icon.elementor-toggle-icon-left{float:left;text-align:left}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title .elementor-toggle-icon .elementor-toggle-icon-closed{display:block}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title .elementor-toggle-icon .elementor-toggle-icon-opened{display:none}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title.elementor-active{border-bottom:none}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title.elementor-active .elementor-toggle-icon-closed{display:none}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title.elementor-active .elementor-toggle-icon-opened{display:block}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-content{padding:15px;border-bottom:1px solid #d4d4d4;display:none}@media (max-width:767px){.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-title{padding:12px}.elementor-toggle .elementor-tab-content{padding:12px 10px}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca\u003eStep 1 - Blood Draw\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBlood can be drawn at:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Theurer Cancer Center\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/\/92+2nd+St,+Hackensack,+NJ+07601\/@40.8843381,-74.0555125,17z\/data=!4m16!1m7!3m6!1s0x89c2fa1ff68aa997:0x14f9d6e4dc03ba87!2s92+2nd+St,+Hackensack,+NJ+07601!3b1!8m2!3d40.8843381!4d-74.0533238!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x89c2fa1ff68aa997:0x14f9d6e4dc03ba87!2m2!1d-74.0533238!2d40.8843381\"\u003e92 Second Street (1st Floor)\u003cbr\u003e\nHackensack, NJ 07601\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nScheduling: (551) 996-5184\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePatients will need to bring the following:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•  Copy of recent comprehensive blood tests for Hep B (HBsAg \u0026amp;
