📅 Contact Lens Health Week Reminder:
Chronic lens wear can reduce corneal sensitivity, putting patients at risk for Neurotrophic Keratitis (NK), often without symptoms.¹
Now you have another option to intervene earlier. Don’t wait for visible damage.
Intervene early with Cryopreserved Amniotic Membranes that have been shown to increase corneal nerve density, correlating with improved sensitivity, and reduced dry eye symptoms.²
