ABSTRACT:
Methods for treating injured corneal tissue are described. The methods include contacting injured corneal tissue with a contact lens which includes an amniotic composition such that scarring of the injured corneal tissue is reduced. Methods for conditioning a contact lens for treatment of injured corneal tissue are also described. The methods include contacting the contact lens with an amniotic composition whereby the amniotic composition is deposited in or on the surface of said contact lens. Additionally, contact lens packages for treatment of injured corneal tissue are described. The contact lens package includes a container holding a contact lens which includes an amniotic composition and instructions for using the contact lens for treatment of injured corneal tissue.
