Summary

This study looked at whether injecting a person's own concentrated platelets (PRP) around the eye could help treat a sudden loss of vision caused by poor blood flow to the optic nerve. 31 adults with this condition were randomly assigned to receive either PRP injections or just observation. The researchers measured changes in vision and nerve health over 16 weeks to see if the treatment was safe and effective.
