Dr. Marvin is proud to announce that she is now offering Prokera biologic corneal membrane devices to treat dry eye and ocular surface disease!
Dry eye disease is one of the most common conditions seen at an annual eye exam. Until recently, treatment options were limited, and often, did only enough to offer the patient mild to moderate improvement in symptoms. With the emergence of biologic corneal membrane devices, dry eye therapy as we know it has transformed. FDA approved to treat corneal inflammation, corneal erosions, corneal ulcers, injuries, and more, there is finally a treatment option to deliver the serious results patients are seeking. These membranes are comprised of the innermost layer of fetal membranes, which are collected from full-term placental tissue and treated with antibiotics during collection. This powerful combination results in patients experiencing a drastic improvement in symptoms as well as a noticeable increase in visual acuity.
Another perk of treating these conditions with corneal membranes devices is an outpatient experience. Instillation of the lens itself takes less than one minute, so patients can expect an office visit that takes about the same time as their yearly prescription check. A short follow-up is done in two to four days, and another visit is not needed for months.
