Abstract
Multiple layers of amniotic membrane can integrate into the corneal stroma with resulting increase in corneal thickness. This appears to be related to re-epithelialization of the transplanted membrane. Integrated amnion within the stromal defect undergoes progressive changes including contraction of tissue and repopulation by corneal stroma-derived cells.
