Hypopyon after Primary Cryopreserved Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for Sterile Corneal Ulceration: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Figure 1

(a) The stromal ulceration was debrided, and the corneal epithelium was removed up to the limbal area. (b) 360° conjunctival peritomy is performed adjacent to limbus. (c) The ulcer was filled up to a surface level with multiple pieces of AM, and a larger AM was transferred to the recipient eye with the epithelial side down. The membrane was trimmed to cover the cornea and limbal area and secured with continuous 10-0 nylon sutures to the conjunctival edges. (d) After suturing, we do a subconjunctival injection with a mixture of dexamethasone and gentamycin. Finally, we place a bandage contact lens to cover the transplanted membrane and cornea.
