Interventions

PROCEDURE

AMT

The AM was trimmed in two layers to fit the corneal ulcer and was placed with its epithelium (basement membrane) side up, secured with 10/0 nylon sutures, supported by a therapeutic contact lens. The operated eye was patched for 2 h, and then administration of the medical treatment agents was resumed. In patients in the case group AMT was performed during days 2-5 of antibiotic therapy when initial clinical response to the treatment was observed.
