How To Treat Marginal Corneal Ulcer ?
My Dad had a mini stroke behind his eye and now has neurotropic epiotholgy. (sp?) He has a marginal corneal ulcer that is not healing and will under go AMT(amniotic membrane transplant). If this does not work, they say they will have to sew his eye partially closed. Are there any other options?
