The purpose of this study is to determine whether amniotic membrane transplantation is as effective as anterior stromal puncture in the relief of symptomatic bullous keratopathy.
Patients with symptomatic bullous keratopathy were randomized in 2 groups and submitted to amniotic membrane transplantation or anterior stromal puncture. The follow up was made with 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Evaluation included complete ophthalmologic exam, esthesiometry, pachymetry, impression cytology and evaluation of pain.
