Innovative PRP Drops
Warsaw · Krakow · Vienna · Zurich
Does this scenario sound familiar? Your eyes sting, are red, and you feel as if a grain of sand is trapped under your eyelids. You reach for over-the-counter eye drops, experience temporary relief, only for the issue to return an hour later like a boomerang. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? If you have already tried half the pharmacy’s assortment with no results, we have news for you: the best medicine is within you.
At SwissLaser in Warsaw and Krakow, we utilize a solution provided by nature, specifically your own body. We are referring to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) drops. This method, instead of masking symptoms, harnesses your own blood to repair what is malfunctioning in your eye.
What are PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Drops?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. We extract the most valuable components from your blood – “liquid gold” full of platelets. These are the natural reservoirs of reparative substances in your body. PRP drops are an autologous medicine, meaning they originate from you. This makes a huge difference. Most over-the-counter eye drops contain chemicals, often with preservatives, which can further irritate the eye with prolonged use. Here, you receive a cocktail perfectly compatible with your DNA. Your immune system does not treat it as an intruder but recognizes it as “its own,” making the therapy not only safe but also incredibly effective.
Comfort and Safety of the OptiLIGHT Procedure
The OptiLIGHT device has been designed with the comfort of both patients and operators in mind. Ergonomic handpieces and adjustable settings allow the device to be adapted to the individual curvature and contour of the face. OptiLIGHT is equipped with safety systems that protect the patient’s eyes from possible side effects. Special protective eyewear used during the procedure and cooling gel applied to the skin minimize discomfort and protect tissue.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What are PRP drops?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) drops are eye drops prepared from platelet-rich plasma – the liquid part of the blood with a high concentration of platelets. Platelets are rich in growth factors, natural substances that support the body’s regenerative processes. As a result, PRP drops support the regeneration of eye tissues, moisturise them and relieve symptoms such as dryness and burning.
How do PRP drops differ from ordinary drops from the pharmacy?
Artificial tears merely moisturise the surface of the eye and often bring only momentary relief, while the preservatives they contain can further irritate the eye with prolonged use. PRP drops, by contrast, contain growth factors, cytokines and anti-inflammatory proteins that not only moisturise but also support the healing of tissue damage and reduce inflammation. They can accelerate the regeneration of the corneal epithelium and restore the eye’s natural protective functions.
Why are PRP drops described as an autologous medicine?
PRP drops are made from the patient’s own blood – we extract what is most valuable from it, namely plasma full of platelets. This means the resulting preparation is fully compatible with the body: the immune system does not treat it as an intruder but recognises it as its own. This makes the therapy both safe and effective.
Who is PRP drop therapy intended for?
We particularly recommend PRP drops for patients with persistent dry eye symptoms – burning, redness or a gritty feeling under the eyelids – for whom drops available from the pharmacy bring no lasting improvement. Suitability for the therapy is decided by the doctor during a consultation, assessing the condition of the ocular surface and the cause of the symptoms. The therapy is available at the SwissLaser clinics in Warsaw and Krakow.
Is using PRP drops safe?
Yes – because the drops are made from the patient’s own blood, they are very well tolerated by the body and contain none of the preservatives typical of many pharmacy products. It is a method that, instead of masking symptoms, harnesses the body’s natural repair mechanisms. Any concerns can be discussed with the doctor during the assessment visit.
How much do PRP drops cost and how do I book the therapy?
The cost of the therapy is determined individually in line with the clinic’s current price list – you will receive detailed information during a consultation at SwissLaser in Warsaw or Krakow. The therapy is not reimbursed by NFZ (Poland’s national health fund). You can book a no-obligation assessment visit online or by telephone.
