A different kind of eye drop
Your own biology.
A new possibility.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma — a preparation made from a small sample of your own blood.
A practitioner draws the blood and uses a centrifuge to separate its components. A platelet-rich preparation is then made into eye drops using the practitioner’s clinical process.
Platelets contain growth factors involved in the body’s repair processes. Researchers are studying how PRP eye drops may support the eye surface in selected patients, including some people with persistent dry eye.

Prepared for your eyes
Formulated, prescribed and supplied by your practitioner.
PRP eye drops and autologous serum eye drops are different preparations. Your practitioner can explain the formulation, handling and care appropriate for you.
Reasons to explore
For eyes that
need more care.
PRP may be an option when a practitioner identifies an appropriate eye-surface condition. The right choice starts with an assessment.
Start the conversationPotential support for the eye surface
Clinical studies have reported improvements in some measures of eye-surface health and tear-film stability. Results differ between studies and patients.
An option worth discussing
For some people with persistent dry eye, a practitioner may consider blood-derived eye drops as part of a broader care plan.
Outcomes vary. PRP is not suitable for everyone, and improvement is not guaranteed.

Curiosity, backed by evidence
Promising research.
An honest perspective.
Published studies offer reasons to keep exploring. They also have limits. Here’s a clear look at what they found.
Randomized controlled trial2024
PRP compared with autologous serum
In a trial of 96 adults with dry eye, both groups improved. PRP met the study’s prespecified non-inferiority margin for the symptom score at four weeks.
Keep in mind
Jongkhajornpong et al. · 2024Read the published study (opens a new tab)A single-centre, four-week study. It does not establish that PRP is superior to serum or predict an individual’s response.
Randomized trial2023
Research in Sjögren’s-related dry eye
A 38-person trial found improvements in eye-surface staining and tear-film stability with both PRP and serum, without a significant difference between them. Symptom scores did not significantly change.
Keep in mind
Kang et al. · 2023Read the published study (opens a new tab)A small study in a specific patient group, with 12 weeks of follow-up. Findings may not apply to other causes of dry eye.
Comparative clinical study2022
PRP compared with artificial tears
A 61-patient study reported greater improvement in symptom scores, tear-film stability and eye-surface staining with PRP over three months. The tear-production test did not differ.
Keep in mind
Rawat et al. · 2022Read the published study (opens a new tab)A small comparative study with short follow-up. More research is needed to understand longer-term outcomes.
Research summaries are general information, not a treatment recommendation. Preparation methods and patient groups vary, and long-term evidence remains limited.

A little clarity
Good questions.
Clear answers.
A personal decision deserves
a thoughtful conversation.
What are PRP eye drops?
Platelet-rich plasma eye drops are a blood-derived preparation made from a sample of your own blood. A practitioner separates the blood components using a centrifuge and prepares the drops according to their clinical process. PRP and autologous serum are distinct preparations; your practitioner can explain which, if either, is appropriate.
Could they be suitable for me?
That decision requires a clinical assessment. PRP eye drops have been studied in selected people with dry eye and other eye-surface conditions. The cause of your symptoms, your medical history, current care and the available evidence all matter. Our introductory consultation is an information and referral conversation, not a diagnosis.
Are PRP eye drops safe?
They are not risk-free. A blood draw may cause bruising, discomfort or fainting. Eye drops can cause irritation, and contamination or incorrect storage can lead to infection. Preparation, handling, storage and follow-up matter. Your practitioner should explain the risks, expected benefits and alternatives before you decide.
Seek urgent medical attention for sudden vision changes, severe eye pain or other urgent eye symptoms.
Does EyePRP provide the treatment?
EyePRP provides information and coordinates referrals. Independent licensed practitioners assess suitability, prescribe where appropriate, prepare or arrange the drops, and provide clinical care. We do not perform blood draws, make eye drops or provide medical advice.
How does the free consultation work?
Send a consultation request with your preferred contact method. We get in touch to arrange an introductory phone or video conversation. In-person introductions in the Okanagan can be discussed by arrangement. Sending the form is a request, not a confirmed appointment.
What does treatment cost?
The introductory consultation is free. Treatment fees, any coordination fees, inclusions and ongoing costs will be explained before you commit. We do not collect payments on this website. Practitioner availability and treatment arrangements are confirmed individually.
Where is EyePRP available?
