Discover The Healing Power of Prokera® for Your Eyes
Prokera® represents a significant advancement in eye care technology, offering a revolutionary approach to treating and healing various eye diseases. Carmel Mountain Vision Care proudly offers Prokera services, incorporating this cutting-edge treatment into our comprehensive eye care solutions.
What is Prokera Treatment?
Prokera is made from amniotic membrane tissue safely secured to a clear, flexible ring, making it easy to insert into the eye, similar to a contact lens. The amniotic membrane in Prokera contains essential growth factors and anti-inflammatory properties, which aid in the healing process, reduce pain, minimize scarring, and decrease inflammation.
Understanding The Science Behind Prokera
The science lies in Prokera's biologic material—the amniotic membrane. It’s rich in collagen, essential growth factors, and anti-inflammatory substances, making it highly effective in promoting corneal healing. When placed on the eye, it facilitates the body's natural healing processes, leading to faster recovery and restoration of clear vision.
Conditions Treated with Prokera
Prokera is used to treat a variety of eye conditions, including:
- Keratitis (inflammation of the cornea)
- Corneal scars from injury or infection
- Chemical burns to the cornea
- Chronic dry eye syndrome
- Other conditions that affect the cornea
Prokera Treatment: What to Expect
The application of Prokera is a simple, in-office procedure. Our eye doctors gently place the device onto your eye, where it will remain for a few days, based on the severity of your condition. You can continue with most of your daily activities, though some adjustments may be necessary.
How Prokera Can Benefit Patients
