Case Report: Use of Amniotic Membrane for Tectonic Repair of Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis With Corneal Perforation

Abstract

We report successful use of multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation for the treatment of corneal ulceration and perforation. The authors believe the simplicity of the surgical technique, easier access to amniotic membrane tissue, and lower induced post-operative astigmatism all provide advantages over alternative treatment modalities.
