Hello, this is BGS Eye Clinic.

Today, we're talking about something widely used not only for vision correction surgery but also for dry eye syndrome!

"PRP Autologous Serum Eye Drops"

What exactly are they?

In the simplest terms,

they are eye drops made from the patient's own blood,

reducing the risk of allergic reactions

and making them safe to use.

But today, we'll delve into the details!

In fact, "PRP eye drops" and "autologous serum eye drops"

are eye drops made with different technologies.

However, most of the time,

"PRP Autologous Serum Eye Drops"

is used as the term because

both treatments use the patient's blood to

create autologous serum and are essentially

based on similar principles and processes,

so the two concepts are combined.

In conclusion,

PRP autologous serum eye drops

refer to eye drops that use autologous serum

and also include the characteristics of PRP.

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma.

At BGS Eye Clinic, when you have vision correction surgery,

it's one of the most affordable options

you can choose.

So, let's find out about the process of making PRP autologous serum eye drops.

step1. Blood Collection

Blood is drawn from the patient's vein.

Generally, about 20-50ml of

blood is needed.

step2. Blood Centrifugation

The collected blood is separated into

plasma, platelets, and red blood cells using a centrifuge.

*In this process, the platelet-concentrated portion is obtained.*

Step3. PRP Extraction

The platelet-rich

upper layer of the plasma is extracted.

Step4. Manufacturing into Eye Drops

PRP is stored in a sterile state

and manufactured into eye drop form.

The eye drops made in this way

can be instilled during LASIK and LASEK surgery

and can also be used at home.

Also, existing eye drops

contain preservatives,

which may cause damage to the tear film,

PRP autologous serum eye drops

contain no preservatives at all,

and contain acidity and

essential components similar to tears in the serum,

so they can be used without side effects.

When we get a wound,

healing regulatory growth factors are released to

heal and protect the wound,

and the components of PRP autologous serum eye drops

contain the following four substances

that are essential for regeneration.

EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)

Promotes the proliferation and regeneration of epithelial cells

and helps damaged eye tissue recover quickly.

TFG-β (Transforming Growth Factor)

Plays an important role in tissue regeneration and inflammation suppression,

and promotes cell proliferation and recovery.

Immunoglobulins

Prevents infection and regulates the immune response,

helping to heal the wound area.

Vitamin A

Plays an important role in maintaining and regenerating eye epithelial cells

and helps lubricate the eyes.

When used together with LASIK and LASEK with these various ingredients,

it is usually much more stable,

and recovery is possible more quickly.

PRP autologous serum eye drops

are also helpful for patients with

intractable dry eye syndrome that cannot be treated with

conventional artificial tears.

It not only prevents side effects before and after LASIK and LASEK surgery

but also helps alleviate dry eye syndrome.

Damaged corneal epithelial cells due to dry eye syndrome

can recover quickly.

Unlike artificial tears,

it acts as a natural lubricant.

This helps maintain moisture on the eye surface

and is effective in relieving dryness.

Helps reduce

inflammatory reactions occurring on the eye surface.

When inflammation is suppressed,

eye pain and discomfort are also reduced.

The eyes of dry eye patients

may be vulnerable to infection,

but PRP eye drops strengthen immune function

to protect the eyes.

Because it also regulates the response of corneal stromal cells,

it reduces the risk of corneal opacity and

regression in high myopia,

helping to maintain restored vision after vision correction.

LASIK surgery inevitably damages

corneal sensory nerves in the process of creating a flap,

which can have a greater impact on dryness,

so most patients with dry eye syndrome

undergo LASEK surgery.

Even after LASEK surgery, there may be

some impairment in corneal epithelial recovery,

but using these PRP autologous serum eye drops

greatly helps epithelial regeneration after LASEK surgery.

Fibronectin, an extracellular component in PRP,

is a protein cell adhesion protein

that helps corneal epithelial cells

move to the wound site.

As a result, it promotes epithelial cell recovery and epithelial adhesion

more effectively, so even patients with dry eye syndrome

can undergo LASEK surgery sufficiently

and recover their epithelium without any problems

if they undergo autologous serum eye drop treatment in conjunction.

Autologous serum is composed of abundant protein and nutrients,

so care must be taken to avoid contamination,

and hands should be washed thoroughly before instillation

to prevent foreign substances from getting on it.

Sharing with others

is not recommended as it can cause problems

such as infection risk, immune response, and

reduced effectiveness.

Also, as I mentioned at the beginning,

since it does not contain preservatives,

avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods of time.

If stored at room temperature,

the ingredients themselves may deteriorate,

so it is best to refrigerate it.

Be sure to

comply with the expiration date

provided by the hospital,

and it is best to avoid carrying it around, but

if you have to go out for a long period of time or

want to maintain the temperature at room temperature,

using an ice pack or insulated container

is also a good idea.

Ah! Although it is extracted from blood,

serum is a yellow liquid,

so the eye drops are not red. :)

*****If you undergo Today LASEK

, the all-laser and PRP autologous serum eye drop options are

included, so we highly recommend Today LASEK for those who want LASEK.*****

Now, you will be able to better judge

whether "PRP autologous serum eye drops"

are necessary for you when choosing an option, right?

The medical staff at BGS Eye Clinic

prioritizes the eye health of patients,

so we conduct 1:1 precise examinations

with optometrists before surgery.

We perform various precise examinations and

are equipped with the latest surgical equipment,

and our ophthalmologists also

have extensive clinical experience,

so you can expect stable results.

We operate on a reservation system,

so please make a reservation before visiting and

feel free to contact us with any questions. :)
