✨ Staff Pick of the Week ✨
This week’s pick comes from our Billing Manager, Cari!

Cari chose Retaine PM Dry Eye Ointment as her must-have for patients who struggle with dry, irritated eyes at night or first thing in the morning. This thick, preservative-free ointment is designed to stay on the eye surface longer, giving you soothing, overnight moisture instead of that dry, gritty feeling when you wake up.

Retaine PM helps to:

Create a protective barrier over the eye while you sleep

Lock in moisture for long-lasting comfort

Reduce morning burning, stinging, and irritation

Support patients with moderate to severe dry eye who need extra overnight relief

If you’re waking up with red, tired, or uncomfortable eyes, Cari recommends giving Retaine PM a try. Ask any of our team members about it at checkout, or stop by Appalachian Vision to pick some up and see if nighttime ointment could be a game changer for your dry eye symptoms.
