Purpose
Persistent epithelial defect is one of the complications of photo-ablative refractive surgery, which sometimes poses a management problem.
Setting
Persistent epithelial defect is one of the complications of photo-ablative refractive surgery, which sometimes poses a management problem.
Methods
We report 5 cases of persistent epithelial defect 1 month after photoablative refractive surgery, treated with a suturless dehydrated amniotic membrane graft.
Results
Complete reepithelialization is obtained after 1 week of amniotic membrane transplantation without added refractive error.
Conclusions
the dehydrated amniotic membrane without sutures is a good alternative in the ocular surface diseases treatment , in particular for the management of epithelial defects after refractive surgery. An effective and efficient technique, especially its easy practice in office .
