Allogenic simple limbal epithelial transplantation leads to faster healing and better visual outcomes as compared with amniotic membrane grafting alone in eyes with severe chemical injuries of grade 4 or worse, according to a study.
While amniotic membrane grafting (AMG) alone has been shown to be beneficial in injured eyes with an adequate amount of residual cells, an external cell source might be needed to populate the graft in case of more severe cell-depleting chemical trauma. With allogenic simple limbal epithelial transplantation (alloSLET), the amniotic membrane is supplemented with
