TL;DR: AMT is an effective method for managing nontraumatic corneal perforations and descemetoceles and can serve as either a permanent therapy or as a temporizing measure until the inflammation has subsided and a definitive reconstructive procedure can be performed.

TL;DR: AMT is an established technique in the treatment of various diseases of the external eye and has brought about major advances in the reconstructive surgery of the ocular surface in the last few years.

TL;DR: The presence of NRAS or BRAF mutations in a mutually exclusive pattern in roughly half (47%) of conjunctival melanomas and the pattern of CNAs argue for conjunctive melanoma being closely related to cutaneous and mucosal melanoma but entirely distinct from uveal melanoma.

TL;DR: As ocular surface damage in TAO significantly correlates with reduced tear production, LG impairment appears to be a major cause of ocularsurface drying, and autoantibodies may bind to lacrimal TSHR and, perhaps via aberrant signal transduction, contribute to LG impairment and, hence, dry eye syndrome.

TL;DR: AMT promotes rapid epithelialization and reduces stromal inflammation and ulceration in HSV-1 keratitis and is a useful model for investigating the effect and the action mechanism of human amniotic membrane.
