Ocular surface reconstruction (OSR) using amniotic membrane (AM) is a standard treatment for severe eye disorders. Ongoing research refines techniques and explores limbal stem cells for improved surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Ocular surface reconstruction (OSR) is a vital procedure for severe ocular surface disorders.
  • Long-term outcomes of early OSR procedures offer realistic insights into benefits and limitations.
  • Advances in understanding amniotic membrane (AM) physiology enable refined treatment techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review major advancements in ocular surface reconstruction (OSR) over recent years.
  • To discuss the current clinical stage of evaluating various AM transplantation techniques.
  • To highlight future directions in OSR, including limbal stem cell research and tissue engineering.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical data and long-term outcomes of OSR procedures.
