Sutureless Fixation of Amniotic Membrane Patch as a Therapeutic Contact Lens by Using a Polymethyl Methacrylate Ring and Fibrin Sealant in a Rabbit Model

Abstract

The sutureless technique that uses a PMMA ring and fibrin sealant for AM patch placement has a lower incidence of complications than the interrupted suture method. This sutureless technique may promote increased clinical use of AM patch by alleviating patients' pain and shortening surgical time.
