purpose: to evaluate the effect of aamniotic mmembrane ttransplantation (amt) in the management of acute severe ocular chemical burns. methods: this randomized clinical trial was performed in eligible patients with grade iii & iv acute chemical burn who randomly received conventional medical therapy (15 eyes) versus combined medical & amniotic membrane transplantation (15 eyes). main outcome me...

purpose: to evaluate the role of amniotic membrane transplantation (amt) in acute ocular chemical burns. methods: patients with grade ii-iv (gii-giv) ocular chemical burns (roper-hall classification) of less than two weeks’ duration underwent amt in addition to medical therapy. patients were followed for at least 6 months and evaluated for ocular pain, visual acuity, epithelial defect healing, ...

purpose: to evaluate the prevalence of acute ocular chemical injuries in patients referred to labbafinejad medical center (lmc) over a period of one year. methods: all patients with chemical burns referred to lmc emergency ophthalmology service were included in the study. demographic characteristics and information regarding the burn were obtained. visual acuity assessment and slit lamp examina...

Ocular chemical burns are a significant problem [1] because they may destroy the entire corneal epithelium and extend into the fornices [2]. More than 25,000 chemical products – oxidizers, reducing agents, corrosives, etc. – have the potential to cause chemical burns [3]. Because serious eye burns can result in loss of sight or require corneal transplants, such chemical burns must be taken seri...

Ocular chemical burns are common and serious ocular emergencies that require immediate and intensive evaluation and care. The victims of such incidents are usually young, and therefore loss of vision and disfigurement could dramatically affect their lives. The clinical course can be divided into immediate, acute, early, and late reparative phases. The degree of limbal, corneal, and conjunctival...

AIM To present the best available research evidence on eye irrigation methods for ocular chemical burns to facilitate better-informed clinical decisions. METHODS Randomized, quasi-randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing the effectiveness of eye irrigation methods among adults or children as an active form of emergency treatment for ocular chemical burns were reviewed....

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical findings, treatment modalities and long-term prognosis of chemical and thermal burns of the cornea. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients (27 eyes) who were followed at two centers for corneal chemical and thermal burns between 2001 and 2013 were included. Eyes were grouped into four grades according to the severity of burn using Roper-Hall classificati...
