ABSTRACT
Although both medical and surgical approaches have been investigated, recurrent symblepharon due to chronic ocular surface inflammation is a difficult disease to manage.This condition can also result in many complications such as cosmetic and visual deteriorations.In this condition, we can use the amniotic membrane transplantation that has a biological contact inhibition effect for the prevention of recurrent symblepharon. We treated successfully a case of a progressive symblepharon involving central cornea from 2-year old. The 14 year-old male patient had suffered from serious cosmetic problem and undergone multiple dissection, argon laser photocoagulation, using cyclosporin eyedrops. He was treated using allograft amniotic membrane, autograft limbal-conjunctiva, and buccal mucosa transplantation. we think that amniotic membrane transplantation was very effective method for the prevention of recurrent symblepharon.
