| Summary: |
The aim of this paper is, to evaluate the efficacy of
amniotic membrane transplantation for ocular surface reconstruction in patients with
bullous keratopathy and chemical and thermal burns of cornea and conjunctiva. Amniotic
membrane is a thin, semitransparent tissue forming an innermost layer of the fetal
membrane, which contains a thick basement membrane with a single layer of epithelium and
avascular matrix. This transplantation promotes normal conjunctival epithelization while
suppressing fibrosis formation. Amniotic membrane transplant may be considered as an
alternative method for treating ocular surface reconstruction in patients with thermal and
chemical burns. Authors suggest that this method of treatment is not efficient in patients
with bullous keratopathy.
