PROKERA® for Dry Eye Syndrome Relief
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that can cause irritation, burning, stinging, and a scratchy sensation in the eyes. It occurs when the eyes cannot produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. While there are various dry eye solutions available, for some patients, traditional treatments may not provide long-lasting relief. For help getting relief from your eye conditions, give us a call at Sunny Isles Eye Center, serving Sunny Isles Beach, FL, and North Miami Beach, FL.
Introducing PROKERA®
PROKERA® is a safe and effective FDA-approved treatment for dry eye syndrome. It utilizes amniotic membrane tissue, a natural material derived from healthy, donated placenta following cesarean sections. This tissue possesses unique properties that promote healing.
How PROKERA® Works
PROKERA® is a bandage-like device worn on the eye similar to a soft contact lens. The amniotic membrane in PROKERA® serves a dual purpose. First, it creates a physical barrier that protects the eye's surface from further irritation and tear evaporation. Second, the amniotic membrane helps aid in healing the underlying problem causing dry eye symptoms.
Benefits of PROKERA® Treatment
PROKERA® offers several advantages over traditional dry eye treatments:
• Relief: Patients often experience significant improvement in their dry eye symptoms within days of PROKERA® placement.
• Improved Corneal Healing: PROKERA® promotes the regeneration of healthy corneal tissue, addressing the root cause of dry eye in some cases.
• Protection: The lens itself can help protect your eye from environmental irritants that could trigger dry eye symptoms.
Is PROKERA® Right for You?
PROKERA® is not suitable for everyone with dry eye syndrome. During a comprehensive eye examination, our eye doctor can determine if PROKERA® is the right course of treatment for your specific needs and discuss the potential risks and benefits.
