Abstract

The human amniotic membrane has been known to help treat a variety of ocular surface diseases thanks to its different components and properties.

Nowadays, the introduction of in-office sutureless amniotic membranes has made it simpler and easier for practicians to use amniotic membranes in their daily practice. Dehydrated amniotic membrane is a type of in-office sutureless membrane that doesn't need much preparation nor time and with the same efficiency as the other types of amniotic membranes. We present the case where we used a sutureless dehydrated amniotic membrane to treat difficult corneal opacities on a teenager's eye.
