Something else? In this episode, Marc Bloomenstein, OD, FAAO, talks about passive versus active treatment, and how there's a place for both—but knowing when to use which is key.

1) Are you saying mild corneal abrasion, mild superficial punctate keratopathy, mild keratitis, contact lens induced mild limbal neovascularization, and 1 week post-op Lasik flap junction you would recommend Amniotic Membrane therapy to speed up and/or increase the healing process? 2) For each of these conditions above, does each of these medical insurances, Medicaid, Medicare, and Private medical insurance, will pay for the therapy?
