Could your own blood help save your sight? experimental eye treatment shows promise
NCT ID NCT07341919
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether injections of a patient's own concentrated platelets (platelet-rich plasma) around the eye can help slow vision loss in two serious retinal diseases: retinitis pigmentosa and extensive macular atrophy. Thirty participants will receive three injections over six months. The main goal is to see if this treatment is safe and if it helps preserve the remaining visual field and central vision.
