Clinical outcomes of vacuum-dehydrated amniotic membrane (Omnigen) mounted on contact lens (Omnilenz) in eyes with acute chemical eye injuries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Omnigen is a vacuum-dehydrated amniotic membrane transplant. It can be delivered to the eye pre-mounted on a special bandage contact lens (Omnilenz) that enables its application without the need for sutures or glue; the aim of this study is to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of Omnilenz-Omnigen complex in eyes with acute chemical injury (CEI).

Methods

A prospective interventional study included patients with different grades of acute CEI attending the casualty between July 2021 and November 2022. All patients received first aid measures followed by the application of Omnilenz-Omnigen within the first 2 days. Patients were followed up for at least 1 month. Primary outcomes include epithelial defect and limbal ischemia. Secondary outcomes include best-corr
