Topical Application of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for Acute Ocular Chemical Burn
Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic SciencesAll India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India
Introduction
Biological agents like autologous serum, umbilical cord serum have been used for restoration of ocular surface and control of inflammatory process owing to presence of significant concentrations of growth factors 1,2
Autologus PRP contain 5 t0 6 times higher concentration of growth factors 3 which are constantly released from α granules present in plateletsBefore activation
After activation
Platelets remain viable for 3-4 days
Has a lubricating property
Starts coagulation process and provides
fibrin scaffold
Contains 3- 4 times more platelets
Topical PRP is used in ocular surface disorder following LASIK, dry eye and dormant corneal ulcers1,2,3,4,5
Clinically used among musculoskeletal physicians, orthopedic surgeons, maxillofacial and plastic surgeons and dermatologists
Aim of the study Comparative evaluation of topical autologous PRP given
along with standard medical treatment with standard medical treatment alone in acute ocular chemical burns
Materials and methodsRandomized prospective comparative double blind case control study
The study population was recruited from a university-based cornea clinic and ophthalmology emergency department
Institutional Ethical Committee approval was sought and written informed consent was taken from participants
Inclusion criteria: Patients with grade III, IV & V ocular chemical injury Patients presenting within 3 days of injury
Exclusion criteria: Patients with impending perforation /perforated cornea
Materials and Methods
20 eyes were randomly assigned Group 1 (10 eyes) – Received Autologous PRP with standard
medical treatment6
Group 2 (10 eyes) – Received standard medical treatment
All participants underwent comprehensive history taking and ophthalmologic examination, including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), cornea clarity grading , size and area of epithelial defect(product of two maximum linear dimensions perpendicular to each other), extent of limbal ischemia, grading of chemical injury according to Dua classification7, clinical photograph (CP) with and without fluorescein stain, tear film status evaluation, intraocular pressure (IOP)
Autologous PRP was prepared under aseptic precautions and stored at 4°C5
Follow up was done on day 3, 7, 14, 21 and month 1, 2 and 3
Chi square test for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney tests far quantitative variables were applied for statistical analysis

Table 6: BCVA
Addition of topical autologous PRP to standard treatment protocol helps in rapid re-epithelialisation of ocular surface and achieve better corneal clarity
There is a trend towards achieving better BCVA with addition of topical autologous PRP at 3 months (though not statistically significant)
We recommend use of topical autologous PRP therapy along with standard medical treatment in cases of ocular chemical injuries of grade3 , grade4 and grade5
Studies with larger sample size and longer follow up periods are required
