Can PRP injection to the under eye area cause blindess?

November 6, 2018
Asked By:ingridada1 in Chicago, IL

Hello, I had a PRP injection to my face yesterday, only using the plasma, not any filler. I thought since the plasma is thin and your own blood there is no risk of going blind from it.. I feel irritation in my eye and some swelling under the eye area, and I am now paranoid I will go blind. My vision was fine after the procedure. Is it still possible to have vision loss because of a PRP under eye injection?
