PRGF – ENDORET® Technology | Toronto Medical Eye Associates

A regenerative treatment for severe dry eye — made from your own blood, prepared in-clinic.

If artificial tears, prescription drops, or other treatments haven’t worked, Endoret® PRGF may be the next step. It uses your body’s own growth factors to help heal the surface of your eye — not just mask symptoms.

What is PRGF?

PRGF stands for Plasma Rich in Growth Factors. Unlike regular eye drops, these are made from a small sample of your own blood, then processed to concentrate healing proteins. Because they come from you, they’re preservative-free and well tolerated.

Is it right for you?

PRGF eye drops may be a good fit if you have:

Moderate to severe dry eye
Autoimmune-related dry eye (such as Sjögren’s syndrome)
Neurotrophic keratitis or persistent corneal defects
Dry eye following LASIK or other eye surgery
Not responded to other dry eye treatments

How it works

Step 1: Blood draw

A small sample is collected at our clinic.

Step 2: Processing

Growth factors are isolated using a controlled medical protocol.

Step 3: Same-day pickup

Your drops are ready and dispensed the same visit.

Total appointment time: approximately 3–4 hours.

Benefits

Regenerative healing, not just lubrication
Preservative-free formula
Reduces ocular surface inflammation
Improves comfort and visual stability
Supports long-term surface restoration
Made from your own blood — highly biocompatible

Using your drops

Most patients use 1 drop in each eye, 3–4 times daily. One treatment cycle typically lasts up to 3 months.

Storage

Keep unused droppers frozen
Once thawed, store at room temperature (below 25°C) for up to 3 days
Discard each dropper after 3 days
Frozen droppers stay stable for up to 6 months

Side effects

PRGF drops are generally very well tolerated. A small number of patients experience mild, temporary burning, redness, or irritation — these usually resolve quickly.
