Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) eye drops are an option when conventional therapy fails to resolve dry eye disease (DED). The biological composition of PRP and natural tears is similar. In addition, PRP therapy supplies several essential growth factors, vitamins, and cytokines that can facilitate the recovery of damaged corneal and conjunctival epithelium, thus reducing the signs and symptoms of ocular surface disease (OSD).
The Dry Eye Optometric Center of Orange County is able to provide both the blood draw and the ability to process the drops in-office while you wait. The entire process takes about 1.5 hours.
