Introduction
Wound healing characteristics of amniotic membrane 1
• AM provides a new basement membrane, which forms a substrate for enhancing adhesion and growth of epithelial progenitor cells, including stem cells.
• AM exerts an antiinflammatory effect suppressing expression of 1L-1 and 1L-1
• AM stromal matrix has a direct anti-scarring secondary to its suppression of TFG- signaling and myofibroblast differentiation.
• All these act in combination to restore the micro-environmental conditions conducive to the growth of the epithelial progenitor cells.
• AM is also thought to promote nerve regeneration by maintaining nerve growth factor signalling

Methods
Retrospective analysis of case records of AMG for ocular surface reconstruction
of a single surgeon (MV) from January 2006 – September 2009.
Parameters noted: • Age / sex• Indication• Time taken for complete ocular surface epithelialisation• Complications• Improvement in tear film stability• Success in achieving optimal ocular surface reconstruction
Purpose
Despite widespread use of amniotic membrane grafting (AMG) in various procedures, standardization of the use of AM and of outcome measures is still lacking. Herein, we report, our results of AMG in ocular surface reconstruction.

Results
Successful ocular surface stabilization was achieved in 36 eyes (91%). The remaining 3 eyes required multiple interventions to achieve ocular surface reconstruction.
Time to complete ocular surface epithelialisation varies in various indications.
Prolonged postoperative topical lubricant and anti-inflammatory therapy is mandatory.

Clinical Outcome Of Amniotic Membrane Grafting For Ocular Surface Reconstruction
Ocular surface reconstruction for acute chemical injuries and post chemical injury symblepharon was the leading indication for amniotic membrane grafting.
Ocular surface stability can be successfully achieved by use of amniotic membrane grafting techniques.
ConclusionClinical Outcome Of Amniotic Membrane Grafting
For Ocular Surface Reconstruction
Clinical Outcome Of Amniotic Membrane Grafting For Ocular Surface Reconstruction
Our findings concur with that of Kheirkhah et al 5.
The complete success is more likely in less severe grades of symblepharon and with use of anchoring sutures
Recurrence is more likely in younger age groups and with higher grades of chemical injury, canthal involvement
