Use of freeze-dried umbilical cord amniotic membrane as a corneal patch graft
This case demonstrates the successful use of freeze-dried umbilical cord amniotic membrane as a corneal patch graft, avoiding emergency keratoplasty and preserving ocular integrity. This technique represents a promising alternative in situations where corneal grafts are not readily available. Further studies are warranted to validate its efficacy.
