Introducing LacriFill®

Long-Lasting Tear Retention for Lasting Dry Eye Relief

At New Vision Optometry, we believe that effective dry eye treatment should be personalized to each patient's unique needs. For patients whose eyes do not retain enough natural tears, we are proud to offer LacriFill®, an innovative, long-lasting canalicular gel designed to help your eyes stay naturally hydrated.

One of the leading causes of dry eye disease is excessive tear drainage. Even when your eyes produce healthy tears or you're using artificial tears, they may drain away too quickly to adequately lubricate the surface of the eye. LacriFill® addresses this problem by temporarily reducing tear drainage, allowing your own natural tears to remain on the eye longer for improved comfort and healthier vision.

Unlike traditional punctal plugs, LacriFill® is a soft, biocompatible cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel that is gently placed within the tear drainage canaliculus, where it conforms to your natural anatomy. There is no external cap or exposed plug, making treatment comfortable while helping retain moisture where your eyes need it most. Over time, the gel naturally resorbs without requiring removal.

Why Patients Love LacriFill®

• Helps your natural tears stay on the eye longer for prolonged lubrication.

• Provides long-lasting dry eye relief without daily maintenance.

• Soft, comfortable canalicular gel that conforms to your natural tear drainage system.

• No exposed punctal plug, reducing the risk of irritation or accidental loss.

• Biocompatible hyaluronic acid formulation designed to work naturally with the body.

• Quick in-office procedure with little to no downtime.

A Modern Alternative to Traditional Punctal Plugs

LacriFill® offers a unique approach to tear conservation by filling the canaliculus with a smooth hyaluronic acid gel rather than placing a solid plug at the punctal opening. This allows the treatment to remain comfortably out of sight while temporarily reducing tear drainage. As the gel gradually resorbs over time, your doctor can determine whether repeat treatment is appropriate based on your symptoms and clinical response.

Who Can Benefit?

LacriFill® may be recommended for patients experiencing:

• Dry Eye Disease

• Aqueous-deficient dry eye

• Chronic eye dryness and irritation

• Fluctuating vision related to tear instability

• Contact lens discomfort associated with dry eyes

• Patients who are not ideal candidates for traditional punctal plugs or prefer a plug-free alternative

Whether used alone or as part of a comprehensive dry eye treatment plan, LacriFill® helps preserve your natural tears, improve ocular surface hydration, and provide longer-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
