Figure 1

Photographs showing the procedures of epithelial flap transposition combined with amniotic membrane transplantation. (a) Cleaning the ulcer surface. (b) Constructing a flap boundary (the dotted line demonstrates the region from where the epithelial flap was obtained). (c) Obtaining an epithelial flap. (d) Transposing the epithelial flap (the dotted line demonstrates the translocated epithelial flap). (e) Suturing an amniotic membrane patch.
