Will the PRP injection in the eyes area could cause blindness

I read that filler in the eyes area could cause blindness, can PRP injection cause blindness like filler if inject deep into the eyes area

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO · Answer

Thank you for sharing your concerns about PRP with Microneedling in periocular tissue. It is highly unusual to have visual problems (or any problems) if this procedure is performed by an experienced board certified physician. Oculoplastic Surgeons have an expertise in handling issues around the eyes. You will likely have a positive experience with the treatment. Good luck.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Fillers or any injections around the eyes can cause blindness if injected into a blood vessel.  Cannula injections limit this complication.  It is more common with things that "plug" vessels like fat or fillers than PRP.  But still is extremely rare.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Keith Denkler, MD · Answer

PRP is a liquid and can be injected at low pressure.High pressure injections such as thicker fillers can create back pressure toward the eye.PRP should be safe.
