| Summary: |
Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) used to be
considered as an excellent substrate for treatment in some corneal diseases. The aim of
this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the amniotic membrane transplantation in
cases of small corneal perforation. As a basement membrane with antiinflammatory
properties, amniotic membrane allows faster healing and better conditions can be obtained
for possible keratoplasty. AMT temporarily secures stability for anterior chamber and
could be an useful technique for short-term restoration of ocular surface. |
