Amniotic membrane transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting a piece of amniotic membrane onto the cornea to promote healing in cases of corneal injury, disease, or chemical burns. The amniotic membrane has natural healing properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring effects, which help to regenerate damaged tissues and restore the cornea's surface.

The procedure is typically used in patients with severe corneal disease, ulcers, or injuries that do not respond to traditional treatments. The amniotic membrane serves as a scaffold for the cornea to heal and can improve visual outcomes in many cases.

Amniotic membrane transplant is a valuable option for treating serious corneal conditions and enhancing healing, particularly in patients with chronic or difficult-to-treat eye diseases.
