Processed amniotic membrane for conjunctival reconstruction in complex strabismus surgery.

DISCUSSION: The result of our study indicates that commercially prepared amniotic membrane is a good alternative graft to replace conjunctiva. It helps to prevent or cure restrictive strabismus, scarring of the conjunctiva with discomfort, and lack of conjunctiva. It is possible that commercially storable products may increase the risk of symblepharon, the reason is unknown. PMID: 30130446 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
