Amniotic membrane treatment is used to support healing of the surface of the eye in more advanced or persistent cases of dry eye.
When the ocular surface becomes damaged or inflamed, symptoms may not improve with standard treatments alone. Amniotic membrane therapy helps create an environment that supports repair and reduces inflammation.
What is an amniotic membrane?
Amniotic membrane is a medical-grade biologic tissue used to support healing on the surface of the eye in more advanced or persistent dry eye.
It helps create an environment that reduces inflammation and supports repair of the ocular surface when symptoms have not improved with standard treatments.
How amniotic membrane treatment works
The membrane is placed on the surface of the eye, where it acts as a protective layer and supports healing of the underlying tissue.
It helps:
• Reduce inflammation
• Support repair of the ocular surface
• Protect the eye while healing occurs
• Improve comfort in more severe cases
The membrane is typically worn for a short period of time and then removed once the surface has improved.
Who may benefit from amniotic membrane treatment
This treatment may be recommended for patients who have:
• More severe or persistent dry eye
• Ocular surface damage
• Inflammation that has not improved with other treatments
• Symptoms that continue despite standard therapies
• Corneal involvement or surface irregularity
A detailed evaluation is needed to determine whether this treatment is appropriate.
Book a dry eye evaluation
Amniotic membrane therapy is typically used as part of a broader treatment plan focused on restoring the health of the ocular surface.
Book a consultation to find out if amniotic membrane treatment or other advanced therapies may be appropriate for your dry eye symptoms.
