Sinopsis

In recent years the use of eyedrops produced from autologous serum has gained wide acceptance for the treatment of ocular surface disorders intractable to conventional medical therapy. Such conditions include persistent epithelial defects or severe dry eyes. Autologous serum was first evaluated in 1984 by Fox et al.  in search of an unpreserved lubricant, which was not available from pharmaceutical providers at that time.However, it was Tsubota who repopularised their use when he described the epitheliotrophic potential of serum for the ocular surface due to its content of growth factors and vitamins
