Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for the Treatment of Infectious Ulcerative Keratitis Before Elective Penetrating Keratoplasty

Abstract

A rapid decrease in the inflammatory reaction and a fast reepithelialization because of AMT after intensive antiinfectious medication in case of severe ulcerative keratitis may help to avoid an emergency keratoplasty and improves the prognosis of the elective keratoplasty.
