Has anyone ever had an Amniotic Membrane Graft? It's basically where they take a placenta from a woman that gives berth via C-Section and donates it. They craft a graft of the Placenta and surround it by a polycarbonite ring, then place it over your eye/cornea. After 3-7 days the placenta is absorbed into/by the cornea leaving only the polycarbonite ring behind which is removed by your opthamalogist after 5-7 days. They only do one eye at a time as your vision with the graft is around 20/200 until the placenta is absorbed by the cornea.

Here's a short video in basic layman terms that explains it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGK-O4bvQNA but there's way more out there

I'm having my 1st eye done on Monday and the removal of the polycarbonite ring and the insertion of the 2nd graft the following Monday

I've never heard of this, but it sounds amazing.

Good luck.

It's pretty amazing, I hope it works. I have gluacoma and thining Retina's but they are both 100% under control. The Gluacoma drops are what caused the inflamation to my eye's causing dry eye disease, constant blood shotness & stinging eyes and constant running eyes, (an over compansation to the dry eyes.) I've been off the drops for about 18 months and my ocular pressure has een excellent. The general public believes that tears are the primary lubricator for our eyes but it's actually oil that's secreated by glands underneath our eyelids. Each upper and lower eyelid has 5-6 glands that secret the oil, those can be come clogged over time for various reasons. I get my glands scrapped every 3 months, it's amazing what comes out.

You have to watch that video and others, amazing results for 12+ different chronic conditions. There are many more out threre. It is expensive, like up tp $1500 per eye but is usually around $
450 per eye with eyemed

Read this article. If she has one of these issues, maybe she's a candidate. Also this article is informative.

(Oh, no. I'm doing my own research.)

You sure about EyeMed covering this? Sounds more like a medical insurance procedure, not something vision insurance would typically cover.

I misspoke, it's my medical covering it. My DR. submitted in advance to see what my out of pocket would be.
