Evaluation of ocular surface changes in rabbit cornea transplanted with AM. Slit lamp microscopy images showed complete attachment of transplanted AM devoid of hemorrhage or injection under the AM in both iAM and dAM transplantation groups 2 days post surgery (2D). Five days (5D) followup showed the origin of neovascularization beneath the transplanted AM (arrow heads). Two weeks (2W) post surgery showed well vascularized AM similar to the surrounding host tissue. Three weeks (3W) followup showed thickened conjunctival tissue at the iAM transplantation loci, whereas dAM transplanted showed smooth and normal conjunctival tissue (arrow heads).
