Anyone know about PRP?

I had left eye done last week on thursday, today, tuesday its still really blurry. Yesterday I refracted -2.00 diop worse.
They say 99% return to normal vision before PRP with some having a small tweak to RX. I guess im kinda freaking out some
as its not getting any better. I can see 20/10 corrected so im a but spoiled... I tried a -2.00sph contact with my gls and of course then
I cant see up close. tried a -2.00/+2.00 MF conract and couldnt see anything well.

I know I can call the office but I know they will say wait it out...
I was hoping someone might have REAL expectations and or experience they can offer.

Pardon my ignorance but what is PRP? Are you referring to PRK?

PRP, is an enriched plasma concoction using a percentage of the patients own blood/plasma along with a larger percentage of platelets and injected into the injured area of the body. If you remember your A & P your blood contains white and red cells along with platelets; the platelets are coagulates and contain proteins that are suppose to increase the healing process. The procedure has been utilized for a lot of sports injuries.

Ah, ok I have heard of the procedure just not too familiar with it. I was thinking of corneal/refractive procedures, not retinal. I always thought that PRP didn't really affect your RX that much. Anyways, I hope you find someone with experience that can answer your question!

Sorry, I was thinking of PRP; Platelet-Rich-Plasma therapy. Wish I could be more helpful.

PRP generally does not directly affect VA or refractive error. Blood sugar levels, however, do. Are you well controlled? Between your OMD and your diabetes doctor, you should get this sorted out.
