The human amniotic membrane has been known to help treat a variety of ocular surface diseases thanks to its different components and properties. The amniotic membrane implantation needed the use of sutures or glue in an operating room. Nowadays, the introduction of in-office sutureless amniotic membranes has made it simpler and easier for practicians to use amniotic membranes in their daily practice. Dehydrated amniotic membrane is a type of in-office sutureless membrane that doesn't need much preparation nor time and with the same efficiency as the other types of amniotic membranes. We present the case where we used a sutureless dehydrated amniotic membrane to treat difficult corneal opacities on a teenager's eye.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
