Abstract
Amniotic membrane transplantation performed at the acute phase of TEN is highly effective not only in reducing inflammation and preventing scarring in the conjunctival surface, but also in restoring corneal epithelial integrity in eyes with both corneal and conjunctival ulceration. As a result, in this case it prevented sight-threatening cicatricial complications at the chronic stage.
