Frequently Asked Questions About Prokera
Prokera is used to treat a variety of corneal and ocular surface conditions, including keratitis, dry eye disease, corneal ulcers, and chemical burns. It helps reduce inflammation, support healing, and protect the eye like a biologic bandage.
Most patients report mild discomfort or a foreign body sensation when Prokera is first inserted, but this typically improves quickly. It is similar to wearing a soft contact lens and is well tolerated by most people.
The Prokera device is usually worn for 3 to 7 days, depending on the condition being treated and how your eye responds to healing.
Many insurance plans, including Medicare, do cover Prokera when medically necessary. We are happy to verify your benefits before treatment.
After removal, patients typically experience reduced pain, redness, and inflammation, and your eye continues to heal naturally. Follow-up visits are important to monitor progress.
