Regener-Eyes® is a sterile biologic eye drop made of anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. These kinds of proteins are necessary for cell function, overall health, and homeostasis and have been shown to reduce inflammation, and help stimulate the ocular surface to heal, repair, and regenerate. The professionals at Regener-Eyes® claim that the product may be a solution for patients who are unresponsive to their current eye drug or are amniotic membrane intolerant. Leading dry eye experts such as Dr. Marguerite McDonald, MD, FACS and Dr. Paul Karpecki, OD, FAAO have also seen significant positive results among their Regener-Eyes® patients.
Regener-Eyes® is available in LITE (suitable for mild to moderate patients) and Professional Strength (for more severe patients). Both formulations have a three-year shelf life, and can be self-administered by patients on a daily basis. Currently, there are no known contraindications. Every lot of Regener-Eyes® is issued a "Certificate of Sterility" by a licensed testing laboratory, as well as a "Certificate of Analysis" that documents the quality and safety of Regener-Eyes. Three to six months of use is suggested however most patients start to see some relief within the first six weeks.
"The science of regenerative medicine focuses on stimulating the body's own natural ability to heal and
regenerate," commented C. Randall Harrell, M.D., CEO and Founder of Regener-Eyes®. "Regener-Eyes® may offer hope to many patients. After years or decades of discomfort, pain, and being forced to alter their lifestyle and career choices, many patients are experiencing a level of relief and healing that they are calling nothing short of a miracle."
