We talk about every part of the body when it comes to health. Heart. Hormones. Skin. Recovery. But the eyes; the thing athletes, founders, and high-performers rely on every second; often get left out of the conversation.
I work with many pro athletes and high-performers, and while they generously contribute autographed decor to our PV space, one thing I consistently notice is how often people overlook their eyes while focusing on every other part of their health. Your vision impacts every moment of your day. When it’s strained, dry, or not functioning at its best, everything else suffers.
My goal is to change that. I want people to treat their eyes with the same intention they bring to their training, their recovery, and their overall wellness. There are incredible advancements happening in eye care right now, and many of them are accessible, effective, and designed to support long-term comfort and clarity.
Here are five innovations buzzing in 2026.
Amniotic Membrane Grafts
This is what people turn to when a dry eye isn’t just annoying but life-disrupting. A regenerative membrane is placed gently on the eye, calming inflammation and actually helping the surface heal.
Why get it:
If dry eye is affecting your comfort, clarity, or day-to-day performance, and regular drops aren’t cutting it, this treatment helps restore the surface instead of just soothing it. It’s especially helpful for people whose eyes feel constantly irritated, red, or sensitive.
Collagen Punctal Plugs
A tiny, dissolvable plug is placed in the tear duct so your natural tears stay on the eye longer. It’s simple, painless, and temporary.
Why get it:
If you want an easy, low-commitment way to see whether tear retention will help your dryness, this is the go-to. It’s perfect for people who experience fluctuating discomfort but aren’t ready for permanent solutions.
Autologous Serum Drops
These personalized drops are made from your own blood serum, which means they mimic natural tears better than anything over the counter.
Why get it:
If your dryness is linked to autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation, or surface damage, these drops support real healing. Patients who feel like “nothing works anymore” often see their first meaningful improvement here.
Red Light Therapy
A wellness-forward option that uses gentle light to support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve the glands that stabilize your tears.
Why get it:
If your eyes feel tired, inflamed, or screen-fatigued, this is an easy, non-invasive reset. It’s great for people looking to add a restorative treatment to their routine without downtime.
Lacrifill
A next-gen approach to moisture retention. Instead of inserting a plug, we inject a soft hyaluronic-acid gel into the tear duct. It adapts to your anatomy and naturally dissolves over months.
Why get it:
If you’re tired of constant drops and want long-lasting, low-maintenance relief, Lacrifill is the best “set it and forget it” option. Patients often feel instant improvement and love that it lasts three to six months.
