Modified amnion-assisted technique shows efficacy in managing limbal stem cell deficiency

Modified amnion-assisted conjunctival epithelial redirection, using vacuum-dried amnion and fibrin glue, may be an effective ocular surface reconstruction technique in managing limbal stem cell deficiency and improving vision.
“Vacuum-dried amnion provides advantages of easy handling, better transparency and storage at room temperature, while the use of fibrin glue instead of sutures helps shorten intraoperative time and obviates suture-related complications and the need for removal postop,” Darren SJ Ting, MD, said at the virtual European Society of Cataract and Refractive
