There is currently a lot of hype around amniotic fluid because of its use in stem cell therapy in Central and South America. This is simply some hack trying to capitalize on the hype by putting it in eye drops. Amniotic fluid has been studied here in the U.S., and found to contain few if any living cells. Stem cell/prolotherapy is currently only truly effective in orthopedic cases, and there is no research showing any benefit in eyes...even IF there were living stem cells in the drops.
There was another case earlier this year of eye drops causing serious eye infections.
I saw that article as well but just something about how this was written and the fact that they are pointing people in the direction of doing their own research. With all that has happened in the past few years it just seemed weird to me.
