AUTOLOGOUS
SERUM EYES DROPS
Autologous drops for treating Allergies and
Dry Eye Syndrome
EYE ALLERGIES
When eyes come into contact with
certain compounds which the immune
system (in charge of defending the body)
recognises as foreign, an allergic
reaction occurs. The response is the
release of histamine, a chemical
substance which causes irritation,
reddening, burning and watering in the
eye and can even damage the cornea in
severe cases.
The most common causes of these
allergies are very common allergens
such as dust, pollen, animal hair and
feathers; cosmetics, make-up, contact
lenses, environmental pollution, etc.
DRY EYE SYNDROME
Some people do not produce tears of the
quality or amount needed to keep the eye
healthy and trouble-free.
This abnormal situation is known as dry
eye syndrome.
Dry eye is defined as a multifactorial
disease of the ocular surface and tears,
whose main symptoms are eye
discomfort, impaired vision and an
unstable tear film, the last of which
damages the ocular surface and makes it
difficult to use contact lenses.
DIAGNOSIS
• Secretory Immunoglobulins A and E in
•
tears. The levels of these drop when tear
production is stimulated, irritating the eye.
Tear Osmolarity. Currently the most
reliable objective measure for diagnosing a
dry eye.
TREATMENT
The Ophthalmological Reference Unit is
equipped to prepare autologous eye
drops in sterile conditions using the
serum of the patient, for treating Allergies
and Dry Eye. Because they are
autologous, these drops do not cause the
possible
irritations
or
rejections
experienced with conventional eye drops
on the market.
The preparation of this sterile eye drop
using autologous serum does not present
technical problems if the right equipment
is used. In addition, a microbiological
culture of the preparations is carried out to
ensure the conditions are sterile.
SAMPLE: 10 mL of serum per drop
RECOMMENDATIONS
The eye drop must be kept in the freezer
until it is used. It must be kept refrigerated
once the container has been opened and
has a shelf-life of 3 weeks. Never leave it
at room temperature
