Case 15 had received multiple surgeries for recurrent retinal detachment in the left eye resulting in a persistent neurotrophic corneal ulcer with band keratopathy (A and B). Eight days after amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT), part of the membrane used as a patch started to dissolve (arrow) (C), while epithelial healing had taken place as shown by fluorescein staining (D). One month after AMT the membrane covered surface was totally healed and smooth with a small part of the membrane dissolved (indicated by asterisks) (E and F). The corneal surface continued to be stable and remained uninflamed (F).
