Amniotic membrane placement is a surgical technique in which a piece of amniotic membrane is transplanted onto the surface of the eye to promote healing and reduce inflammation. This procedure is commonly used to treat corneal ulcers, chemical burns, or other eye surface disorders that do not respond well to traditional treatments.

The amniotic membrane has natural healing properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring effects, which help regenerate damaged corneal tissue and reduce the risk of scarring. It is typically placed over the affected area and held in place until the eye heals.

Amniotic membrane placement accelerates healing, restores the surface of the eye, and improves visual outcomes for patients with serious eye injuries or diseases.
