PROKERA®
Our doctors are qualified to fit PROKERA® which is an amniotic membrane tissue used to promote wound healing and help damaged tissues on the eye such as the cornea and conjunctiva, to heal.
PROKERA® is used by eye doctors to treat eye diseases such as keratitis, corneal scars, corneal erosions, chemical burns, corneal defects, partial limbal stem cell deficiency and many other ocular surface diseases with inflammation.
WHAT IS PROKERA®?
PROKERA® is a therapeutic device used by eye doctors around the world to protect, repair and heal damaged eye surfaces. Eyes treated with PROKERA® have quicker healing, less pain, less scarring, and less inflammation. The amniotic membrane in PROKERA® is thin and clear like the tissue on the surface of your eye and protects your eye's damaged tissue while inserted.
HOW IS THE PROCEDURE DONE?
PROKERA® is a quick, in-office procedure that is inserted onto the affected eye similar to a soft contact lens. There is minimal discomfort and can stay onto the eye for weeks depending on progress.
