With Prokera, you can have peace of mind in knowing that your physician has chosen a product that can help facilitate healing1 and help restore your ocular surface to a natural and healthy state.
To date, over 350,000 patients have experienced the beneficial properties of Prokera. This guide will help you understand what you can expect during treatment with Prokera.
What is Prokera?
Prokera is the only medical device made from amniotic membrane for use by eye care practitioners that is recognized by the FDA² to reduce infammation and minimize corneal scarring associated with various ocular surface diseases. Prokera may help to restore your cornea and return your eye to a normal, healthy state.
Is Prokera safe?
Prokera is a safe treatment containing amniotic tissue provided by an FDA-regulated tissue bank. The donor and tissue have passed numerous quality control tests including social habits, physical and medical screening before it is provided to your doctor. The tissue is donated from healthy mothers who had successful c-sections.
Treatment Period
For optimal corneal healing, the treatment process can range from 3-5 days. Depending on the severity of your condition, your doctor may choose to extend the treatment period or place a second Prokera device. Your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment to check your treatment progress and remove the Prokera.
Allergies and Warnings
If you are allergic to Ciprofloxacin, Amphotericin B, Glycerol, and/or Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), you should notify your doctor and not receive the Prokera treatment. If you experience discomfort with insertion of Prokera, notify your physician. In addition, notify your physician of any swelling, redness, or discharge.

“For many years, I suffered in pain from my dry eyes which eventually led to a corneal ulcer. My eyes were constantly itchy and red and my vision fluctuated. The treatment with Prokera was quick and simple, and felt similar to a contact lens being inserted. My vision has improved, which is crucial to me as an artist. Prokera has truly changed my quality of life and brought me back to feeling normal again.”
