Prokera: for Treatment of Glaucoma and Other Eye Diseases

Prokera is a combination medical device that optometrists use for anti-scarring, anti-inflammation, and accelerating healing of damaged eye surfaces. It is made by using a piece of amniotic membrane tissue that is a part of the placenta.

Prokera is a class II medical device serving as biologic corneal bandages.

What Does Prokera Do?

• Contributes to eye healing. The amniotic membrane tissue has natural therapeutic properties that help damaged eye surfaces recover faster. Eyes treated with the help of Prokera heal faster with less scarring, pain, and inflammation.
• Protects the surface of the eyes. The amniotic membrane is clear, thin, and is similar to the tissue on the surfaces of the eyes. It protects the eyes' damaged tissue while inserted.

What Can Prokera Treat?

Prokera is used by doctors to treat various eye disorders and diseases, including corneal scars, chemical burns, keratitis, glaucoma, partial limbal stem cell deficiency, and other eye problems and ocular surface diseases characterized by inflammation.

How Safe Is Prokera?

The amniotic membrane tissue has passed numerous quality control tests before being provided by an optometrist. If you are concerned about possible risks involved with using human tissue, discuss these concerns with your doctor.
