This method consists of applying a piece of amniotic membrane to the ocular surface. Amniotic membrane patches are prepared from placental tissues from women who had a planned cesarean sections. AMT appears to be a useful therapy which results with stabilization of the ulcer progression and corneal epithelial defect healing. It is most likely, that amniotic membrane used as an ocular graft stop the inflammation process because of the expression of immunoregulatory molecules, including Fas ligand and HLA–G antigens. In addition, the amniotic membrane contains a large number of collagens, growth factors and protease inhibitors which can promote healing and reconstruction of the conjunctival epithelium.Other surgical interventions such as lamellar keratectomy, keratoepithelioplasty and corneal transplantation have also been reported as effective treatment options for Mooren’s ulcer. == References ==
