"Your eye isn't healing the way we want it to with drops alone. There's a treatment called amniotic membrane therapy — it uses tissue from the placenta, which is one of the most powerful healing tissues in the body. We place it on your eye, and it actively promotes healing rather than just protecting the surface. Most patients see significant improvement within a week."

"Aurora has a small clear window in the center so you can still see while you're wearing it. Your peripheral vision will be reduced — you'll notice it, but most patients adapt quickly. You'll wear it for about 5–7 days, then come back so we can check your healing. Don't rub your eye, don't swim, and call us immediately if you have increased pain or sudden vision change."

"I understand — it sounds unusual. Amniotic membrane is the innermost layer of the placenta, and it's been used in ophthalmology for over 20 years. It's processed, sterilized, and tested to the same standards as any other tissue allograft. The reason we use it is that it contains growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins that no synthetic material can replicate. It's the most effective healing tissue we have for the ocular surface."
