Understanding the Importance of Tears
Tear production is facilitated by glands located on both the eyelids and upper areas of the eye. Understanding these processes becomes especially important in conditions like keratoconus.
In cases of keratoconus, where the cornea starts to thin and the eye tends to dry out, it becomes necessary to produce an increased amount of tears. This is because the drying out of the eye and cornea thinning can hinder the proper absorption of nutrients.
Tears, apart from providing lubrication and moisture to the eyes, also serve as a carrier for essential nutrients. Proper tear production and distribution are vital for the absorption of these nutrients, supporting the health and nourishment of the cornea.
By ensuring an adequate tear production, we aim to counteract the drying and thinning effects associated with keratoconus. This can help improve the cornea's condition and facilitate better absorption of vital nutrients.

Dr. Sam Berne has been in private practice in New Mexico for over 25 years and where he works with patients to improve their vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University, Doctor of Optometry from Pennsylvania College, and did his postdoctoral work at the Gesell Institute in collaboration with Yale University. He has been awarded The Special Awards for Service from the Behavioral Optometrists in Mexico for his innovative and holistic work with children.
His protocols take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to health and wellness. He understands and treats the body as one integrated system rather than a collection of independent organs in order to identify and address the root causes of disease. His whole health protocols improve vision and wellness by healing the mind-body-spirit through nutritional protocols, vision therapy, and self-care techniques. This views each person as genetically and biochemically unique and enables the individual to make lifelong improvements to their well-being.
