Amniotic Membrane
Amniotic Membrane Therapy for Dry Eyes
Amniotic membrane therapy is a cutting-edge treatment option for patients suffering from severe or chronic dry eye disease. This non-invasive procedure utilizes a natural amniotic membrane, which contains stem cells, anti-inflammatory properties, and regenerative factors that promote healing and restoration of the eye’s surface.
Amniotic membranes are rich in growth factors and stem cells, which help regenerate damaged tissue, reduce scarring, and accelerate the healing process. This makes them an ideal solution for patients who haven’t found relief from conventional dry eye treatments.
How It Works
The amniotic membrane is placed directly onto the eye’s surface, where it acts as a protective barrier and encourages healing. It helps reduce inflammation and pain, while promoting the regeneration of damaged corneal cells with the help of stem cells. Over time, the membrane dissolves or is removed, leaving the eye healthier and more comfortable.
