Amniotic Membrane Therapy

Amniotic membrane therapy is an advanced treatment used to promote healing and provide relief for various eye conditions. This natural tissue, derived from the amniotic sac, is rich in growth factors, proteins, and anti-inflammatory properties that support tissue regeneration. It is particularly effective for treating damaged or inflamed corneas, as well as other conditions that affect the surface of the eye.

How Amniotic Membrane Works:
The amniotic membrane is carefully prepared and applied to the surface of the eye in the form of a thin, biologically active patch. This membrane creates a healing environment by:

• Reducing Inflammation: The natural anti-inflammatory properties help calm the eye’s surface and reduce pain, swelling, and irritation.

• Promoting Healing: The growth factors present in the amniotic membrane accelerate tissue regeneration, assisting in the repair of damaged cells and tissues on the eye’s surface.

• Protecting the Eye: The membrane serves as a barrier that helps shield the eye from external factors, reducing the risk of infection and further damage.
  
  

Common Uses: Amniotic membrane therapy is commonly used to treat conditions like:

• Severe dry eye disease

• Corneal ulcers or abrasions

• Chemical burns

• Post-surgical healing

• Pterygium (growth of tissue on the eye’s surface)
