“Our mission was to build a company created by doctors to ensure that our patients are getting the best treatment, delivered conveniently and with affordable pricing. I believe we’ve done that.”

MEET DR. MAHDAVI
Paymohn Mahdavi, M.D., graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a BA in Economics. After spending five years in the world of business as an analyst, and then a consultant specializing in the field of prototype development and robotics, he realized that he needed to follow his true passion: medicine.
Dr. Mahdavi earned his medical degree from Loma Linda University, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. He then completed his ophthalmology residency at New York Medical College, serving as Chief Resident. After completing his residency, he went on to a Fellowship in Vitreo-Retinal surgery at the National Retina Institute.
In his practice, Dr. Mahdavi believes that dry eye and ocular surface management is not only important for general eye care, but crucial for the in-office care and the procedures he routinely performs. Access to eye drops that treat these conditions are especially important.
During the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, dry eye product samples suddenly became harder to get and patients were reluctant to visit pharmacies, so there were no easy options for getting these drops to his patients. Dr. Mahdavi’s vision for My Dry Eye Box was born from this necessity.
