Schedule your consultation today to explore advanced dry eye treatment with amniotic membrane therapy.

What Is Amniotic Membrane Therapy?

Amniotic membrane therapy involves placing a thin, biologic tissue on the surface of the eye to support healing and reduce inflammation. This membrane is derived from donated placental tissue and is rich in growth factors that help repair damaged cells.

In the context of dry eye and ocular surface disease, this therapy acts as a protective layer, allowing the eye to heal while reducing irritation and promoting regeneration. It is typically recommended for patients with more advanced or persistent symptoms that have not responded to standard treatments.

Conditions Treated with Amniotic Membrane Therapy

Amniotic membrane treatment is used to address a range of ocular surface conditions, particularly those involving inflammation or damage. These may include:

Severe or chronic dry eye disease
Corneal surface damage or irritation
Persistent inflammation of the eye
Complications from contact lens use or previous procedures
Non-healing epithelial defects

Because this treatment supports healing at a cellular level, it is often used when other therapies have not provided sufficient relief.

How the Treatment Works

The amniotic membrane is carefully placed on the surface of the eye, where it acts as a biological bandage.

Once in place, it:

Protects the cornea from further irritation
Reduces inflammation
Promotes regeneration of healthy tissue
Supports faster healing of the ocular surface

The membrane gradually dissolves or is removed after a short period, depending on the type used and your specific treatment plan.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation to assess the severity of your condition and determine whether amniotic membrane therapy is appropriate.

If recommended, the membrane is placed in-office in a quick, minimally invasive procedure.

A special contact lens may be used to hold the membrane in place during the healing process. Some patients experience mild awareness of the membrane initially, but this typically improves as the eye begins to heal. Our team provides clear instructions and close follow-up care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Recovery and Healing

Healing begins immediately after the membrane is placed, with many patients noticing improvement in comfort within a few days. During the healing period, you may be asked to limit certain activities and use prescribed drops to support recovery. Vision may be slightly blurred while the membrane is in place, but this is temporary.

As the surface of the eye heals, patients often experience reduced irritation, improved moisture retention, and greater overall comfort.

A Targeted Approach to Dry Eye Care

At New York Laser Vision and Aesthetics, amniotic membrane treatment is part of a broader strategy to address dry eye at its source. We don’t rely on a single solution.

Instead, we evaluate all contributing factors—such as inflammation, gland function, and environmental influences—to create a comprehensive treatment plan. This may include combining therapies like IPL, specialized lenses, or prescription treatments to achieve more effective and lasting results.
