AIM:To discuss the curative effect of amniotic membrane transplantation for acute ocular burn patients. METHODS:Fresh amniotic membrane transplantation was for treatment of early ocular burns in 10 patients (12 eyes). RESULTS:Twelve eyes were of reepithelialization of ocular surface within 3 weeks after operation;cornea restored transparency in 3 eyes, left thin nebula in 5 eyes, left corneal macula in 2 eyes,leukoma in 2 eyes;corneal neovascularization was in 3 eyes, among which neovascularization was limited at peripheral cornea in 2 eyes and entered into pupil region of the cornea in 1 eye; mild symblepharon was in 2 eyes. CONCLUSION:Fresh amniotic membrane transplantation in the treatment of early ocular thermal burns can obtain a stable ocular surface. It is an effective way and creates the conditions for cornea transplantation for the future.
