Amniotic Lenses

An amniotic membrane is used to repair and heal damaged eye surfaces such as severe medical burns, dry eye disease, and many other ocular surface irregularities. The membrane acts as a physical barrier to protect conjunctival and corneal epithelium as it heals, and it reduces pain caused by friction of the eyelids over the surface. In addition, the amniotic membrane promotes epithelial growth through cell migration, adhesion, and differentiation, while also inhibiting cell death.

PROKERA is made by clipping a piece of amniotic membrane tissue in between two rings made out of a clear, flexible material.

BioDOptix is a dehydrated, extracellular membrane tissue that is applied after the ocular surface is completely dry. BioDOptix a flat disc of tissue without a stabilizing outer ring.

PROKERA & BioDOptix are therapeutic lenses are cleared by the FDA to reduce inflammation and simultaneously promote regenerative healing of the ocular surface. Amniotic membranes are harvested in a sterile environment from placental tissue obtained during elective cesarean sections. Donors are screened for transmissible diseases.

I warn the staff that I will need extra patience as it’s not within my comfort zone. Up until Appleseed Eye care staff and their patience I have left completely stressed and eyes exhausted. Thanks to the incredible team at Appleseed Eye Care Center I am now wearing contacts M-F. I sincerely appreciate the kindness of the staff. Paige B. Loved my visit,Staff is awesome!

Been looking for a new eye place as my old one is no longer in network. Dr Weber is very thorough and explains things in very simple terms and is really friendly. The entire staff is also very friendly and polite and are very thorough with questions. They’re 5 stars for a reason. Again don’t think about it just go. Armin H. I've been going to the eye doctor for an extremely long time and have never had an experience like this.

As soon as you walk in the doors you're met with such a warm welcome. When I think back to all the eye doctors and practitioners I've met over the years, none have made me ever want to write a review, let alone a good one

This visit was the best I've ever had at an eye doctor and going back doesn't seem like a chore, it actually sounds like something I'll look forward to. Thank you for an amazing experience, ladies! Karsten A. I had my first visit here this week since Dr. Camp retired. Everyone was very professional and pleasant. Dr. VanGessel was very thorough and informative. He made sure to ask repeatedly if I had questions, and if I understood the information he gave to me. He did not rush the appointment, or make me feel he was in a hurry to move on. As I had multiple questions, that meant a lot to me. I would definitely recommend their services. Melanie H. All the staff persons and assistants who worked with me were professional and friendly. Dr. Bourlier was fantastic. She explained the images they took, the tests she was doing, and made sure my questions were answered. I was well satisfied. Mark W.
