Since we have dry eye treatments at Quigley Eye Specialists, I thought we could do something to help these heroic healthcare workers and make their job more comfortable."

The "Quigley Cares" baskets were delivered to four monoclonal treatment locations in Bonita Springs, Naples, Immokalee and Englewood.

The gift baskets included Systane lubricant eye drops and gels that are designed to keep the eyes lubricated and provide long-lasting relief and Genteal Tears that deliver fast, soothing relief of dry eye symptoms and act as a protectant against further irritation.

The baskets also contained treats. $500 iLASIK gift cards and $25 optical gift cards good at any Quigley Eye Specialists office.

The four monoclonal antibody clinics are among 21 opened in the past two weeks in Florida that help people who have the early stages of COVID-19 avoid hospitalization. Those who have received the treatment said their symptoms diminished within 24 to 48 hours.
