What Does Prokera Do?

The amniotic membrane tissue in Prokera helps any damaged eye surfaces heal. Prokera has advanced properties to allow the eyes to heal quicker and reduce scarring, inflammation, and pain. Prokera also helps protect the eye's surface when it's inserted.

What Does Prokera Treat?

Prokera is used for various eye diseases such as corneal scars, keratitis, chemical burns, corneal defects, and ocular diseases.

Is Prokera Comfortable?

Prokera is similar to larger contact lenses. You will have the sensation of a foreign object in your eyes, but it is not uncomfortable. We will provide you with special instructions to follow once your Prokera lenses are inserted. We recommend that you avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming or soaking your face with water, tightly closing your eyes during a shower, and using prescribed eye drops and medication. You should contact our office immediately if you experience any problems using Prokera.

Is Prokera Safe?
