What is it about?
Platelet-rich plasm is known to contain many biologically active substances that are also found in tears. Many factors such as epidermal growth factor transforming growth factor-beta fibronectin, and vitamin A are present in significantly higher concentrations in PRP than in natural tears. These components are critical for the proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance of corneal epithelial cells, making them particularly effective in the treatment of ocular surface disorders [11-14]. Due to these properties, serum eye drops have been effectively used for the management of ocular surface diseases, injuries, corneal ulcers, dry eyes, ocular GVHD, neurotropic keratopathies, persistent and recurrent corneal erosions and ulcers
