Prokera is an all-natural therapeutic device that eye doctors place directly on the surface of the eye to help protect, repair, and encourage healing in the area. Prokera is made of amniotic membrane tissue. This tissue helps a baby to thrive and grow and has excellent healing properties when used on the eyes. Patients find that Prokera helps damaged eye surfaces heal faster, with less scarring and inflammation. It is used to treat diseases such as keratitis, as well as scarring, chemical burns, and other ailments which affect the surface of the eye. It is a safe treatment that is regulated by the FDA and highly effective when it comes to helping people heal faster from eye problems. The treatment time with Prokera is typically three to five days. The insertion does not hurt, and most patients do not report discomfort either. It is comparable to wearing a contact lens. You will need to see your eye doctor a few days after the treatment to check the effectiveness and determine if one treatment is enough.
