Amniotic Membrane Transplantation is an advanced ophthalmic procedure used to support the healing and regeneration of the eye’s surface. The treatment utilizes a specially processed amniotic membrane, which contains natural biological factors that help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and protect the ocular surface.

The procedure is commonly performed in patients with corneal ulcers, persistent epithelial defects, ocular surface injuries, chemical burns, and other conditions affecting the cornea and conjunctiva. By creating a protective environment for healing, the amniotic membrane helps reduce discomfort, improve recovery, and preserve visual function.

Key benefits include:

• Enhanced tissue regeneration

• Reduced inflammation and scarring

• Improved ocular surface healing

• Protection of corneal integrity

Amniotic membrane transplantation is a safe and effective treatment that plays an important role in restoring ocular health and supporting long-term visual outcomes.

Amniotic Membrane Transplantation – Recovery and Travel Recommendations

After amniotic membrane transplantation, most patients can usually return to light daily activities within a few days, depending on the condition being treated and the surgeon’s instructions. Mild discomfort, tearing, foreign body sensation, and blurred vision may occur during the early healing period. Eye rubbing, swimming, dusty environments, and strenuous activity should be avoided until the eye surface has healed properly.

• Patients are advised to remain in the country for at least 7 days after the procedure.

• Air travel is usually possible after the first follow-up examination, if healing is satisfactory.

• For longer journeys exceeding 4–6 hours, it is generally recommended to travel only after medical clearance and with prescribed eye drops available during the trip.
