ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the curative effect of fresh amniotic membrane and biotic amniotic membrane grafting for treating eye burn in early stage. Method We collected 19 cases (19eyes) with burn in ocular surface treated in our hospital from January 2006 to March 2007. The 19 cases were divided into two groups. One group was treated with amniotic membrane grafting (FAMG) and the other group was treated with biotic amniotic membrane grafting(BAMG) ,with follow time of 3 ～ 18 month after operation. Results After opera-tion, all the grafted membranes in the 19 cases survived. The corneal epithelium was well healed without rejection and secondary infection. No symblepharon or corneal neovascularization was noted and the vision improved with different degree. Conclusion Both fresh amniotic membrane and biotic amniotic membrane are used for recovering the ocular surface to cure bye burn and biotic amniotic membrane has the same curative effect as compared with fresh amniotic membrane.
