Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Ocular surface reconstruction presents significant challenges.
  • Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) is a promising therapeutic option.

Observation:

  • This study evaluated AMT efficacy in 140 eyes across diverse indications.
  • Indications included limbal stem cell deficiency, bullous keratopathy, and conjunctival tumors.

Findings:

  • Overall success and partial success rates reached 93.6% (131/140 eyes).
  • Corneal and conjunctival groups showed high efficacy, with success rates of 80.6% and 71.2%, respectively.

Implications:

  • AMT is effective for challenging ocular surface reconstructions.
