KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — In this Healio Video Perspective from Kiawah Eye, Maggie Jeffries, MD, shares why Iheezo is a reliable ocular surface anesthetic option and gives tips on how to use it.
“The studies have shown that in patients using Iheezo, they didn’t need any additional topical ocular anesthetics during surgery, so it was a 100% success rate,” she said.
