The main outcome measures were healing response of PED and time to heal after application of AMDDM.Results: A total of 106 applications of AMDDM were recorded for 81 patients (52 males, 29 females) with a spectrum of different etiologies. Fifty-eight percent of the eyes showed complete healing, and 28% showed partial decrease of the size of PEDs with average treatment length recorded as 22.4± 12.3 days. In patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (n=44; aniridia=12, chemical injury=9, Stevens–Johnson syndrome=10), 50% of PEDs showed complete healing and 27% showed partial healing. In patients with microbial keratitis (n=21) (bacterial: 13, fungal: 4, herpetic: 3, acanthamoeba: 1) 57% of PEDs showed complete healing and 33% were partially healed. In patients with keratoplasty (n=16), 56% of PEDs showed complete healing and 31% were partially healed. Vision remained stable in 59% and improved in 27% of the study the population.Conclusion: AMDDM can be easily applied in the clinical setting and has demonstrated its efficiency as a new tool to treat persistent epithelial defects.Keywords: persistent epithelial defects, amniotic membrane derived dry matrix, suture less amniotic membraneMaqsood SElsawah KDhillon NSoliman SLaginaf MLodhia VLake DHamada SElalfy MDove Medical Pressarticlepersistent epithelial defectsamniotic membrane derived dry matrixsuture less amniotic membraneOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2231-2238 (2021)
