These products have biomechanical and biochemical properties similar to normal tears. They contain components such as fibronectin, vitamin A and growth factors that have an epitheliotrophic effect on the ocular surface epithelial cells.CONCLUSIONS:
The clinical studies performed showed a variable efficacy, with the preparative process and use of the autologous serum eye drops varying considerably between different studies.
