Amniotic Membrane Grafting
Amniotic Membrane Grafting is a cutting-edge procedure offered at Desai Eye Hospital, designed to treat a variety of corneal and ocular surface conditions. This advanced technique involves transplanting a thin layer of amniotic membrane, derived from the placental tissue, onto the affected area of the eye. The amniotic membrane is rich in natural growth factors, which promote healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration.
Amniotic Membrane Grafting is particularly effective for patients suffering from severe dry eye disease, corneal ulcers, chemical burns, and other traumatic injuries to the eye. It is also used in cases of persistent epithelial defects or scarring that do not respond to conventional treatments.
The procedure is minimally invasive and has a high success rate, offering significant relief to patients with chronic ocular conditions. At Desai Eye Hospital, our expert ophthalmologists ensure that each grafting procedure is personalized, providing the best possible outcome for the restoration of vision and comfort.
