Brief Summary: This is a randomized clinical trial study to identify the role of AMT amniotic membrane transplantation in treating epithelial defect symblepharon prevention preventing corneal vascularization and opacity decreasing pain and improving visual acuity and patients with acute chemical burns
Detailed Description: The study is on patients with grade II-IV acute ocular chemical burns Roper - Hall classification in the first 2 weeks of injury

After topical anesthesia all patients initially will receive first aid therapy which included irrigation with normal saline to normalize ocular surface PH and removal of early particulate maeuil and debris After complete examination and obtaining informed consent the patients will be randomized using a treatment assignment list to either AMT with conventional medical therapy group A or medical treatment only group B In the patients with bilateral injuries the eyes will be randomized separately AMT will be performed within 24h of presentation amniotic membrane will remain in place for 7-14 days The patients will be examined at days 1 3 7 10 14 21 28 and then biweekly until 3 months and monthly until 1 year in every visit visual acuity by sneillen charts reduction of pain subjectively size of corneal epithelial defect by fluorseein satiny extent of corneal vascularization and opacity and symblepharon formation will be assessed Digital photographs at each visit will be obtained
