She said her eye doctor recommended Prokera. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAccording to Miami Contact Lens Institute, the Prokera treatment works by placing an amniotic membrane on the surface of the affected eye for several days, usually between three and five. Over time, the membrane dissolves on its own, releasing bioactive components that support and accelerate the healing of the eye.The Next Gen NYC star explained the reasoning behind it:“So because my dry eye was so bad, it created these micro tears in the bottom of my eye. And this treatment was pretty serious.”She further described how the treatment works, explaining that it uses amniotic tissue to help restore the eye to its optimal health. Although the idea of placing tissue in the eye may seem intense, Emira clarified,“It doesn’t hurt or anything. It just feels really uncomfortable.”She shared that treatment is non-surgical and is designed to repair damage on the surface of the eye.The process and recovery experience View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn the same video, Emira detailed the full course of her experience, starting with wearing the first lens for just one day. She explained that she "wanted to start out with just 24 hours" to test the treatment initially.During that time, her eye was taped shut, and she wore a decorative eye patch she referred to as her “glam pirate patch.” The Next Gen NYC star also wore soft patches at night to protect the area while sleeping. Describing the physical sensation, she noted,“It just felt like there was something in my eye because there literally was.”Even while undergoing the treatment, she remained active in her daily routine. Emira said she continued "running errands" during the process. However, she acknowledged that the limited vision presented a challenge, explaining,“It is very disorienting to only operate with one eye. I kept like bumping into things.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAfter 24 hours, the lens was removed and replaced with a second application on the other eye. Emira shared visual updates on how her eyes looked following each phase of the treatment.Results after the applicationFollowing the final round of the procedure, the Next Gen NYC star posted comparison clips showing her eyes immediately after treatment and the following day.
