The aim of this study is to emphasize on the clinical uses of amniotic membrane (AM) in multiple ocular disorders. AM possesses many properties including promotion of epithelialization, anti-fibrotic, anti-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic properties. Epithelial wound healing on the eye surface is promoted due to several epidermal and keratocyte growth factors as well as by its anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring effects due to interleukin-10, interleukin-1 receptor antagonists and inhibition of…

Amniotic membrane transplantation in the human eye.
TLDR
AMT is an established technique in the treatment of various diseases of the external eye and has brought about major advances in the reconstructive surgery of the ocular surface in the last few years.
Human amniotic membrane transplantation: Different modalities of its use in ophthalmology.
TLDR
The amniotic membrane is being used increasingly for ocular surface reconstruction in a variety of ocular pathologies including corneal disorders associated with limbal stem cell deficiency, surgeries for conjunctival reconstruction, as a carrier for ex vivo expansion of limbal epithelial cells, glaucoma surgeries and sceral melts and perforations.

TLDR
Amniotic membrane use in the treatment of ocular surface pathology as an adjunct to stem cell grafts of the corneal limbus and its ability to modulate stromal scarring and its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activity are reported.

TLDR
AMT in various ocular surface pathologies shows success in achieving the goal of symptomatic relief, improved epithelialization, stromal healing and vision.
Antiinflammatory Effects of Amniotic Membrane Transplantation in Ocular Surface Disorders
TLDR
Amniotic membrane attracts and traps inflammatory cells infiltrating the ocular surface, which may explain some of the antiinflammatory properties of the fetal tissue.
Amniotic membrane transplantation for ocular surface reconstruction
TLDR
AMT was effective to promote corneal healing in patients with persistent epithelial defect, and appeared to be helpful after surgery to release corneo-conjunctival adhesion.
The effects on inhibition of corneal neovascularization after human amniotic membrane transplantation in severely damaged rabbit corneas.
TLDR
Human amniotic membrane isolated from the placenta contained basement membrane components such as type IV collagen, laminin, and 6 and 4 integrins, all of which remained detectable while preserved in glycerin for one week, and it was concluded that the success correlated with the return of a cornea-like epithelial phenotype and the preservation of the amniotics.
