摘　　要：Dear Editor,We are writing to present two case reports of persistent epithelial defect after infectious keratitis successfully treated with sutureless contact lens-type amniotic membrane(AM)transplantation.Infectious keratitis is one of the leading causes of corneal blindness.Infection disrupts the normal corneal healing process and induces inflammation,limbal cell dysfunction,and corneal surface irregularity,which can lead to corneal opacities or persistent epithelial defects(PEDs)[1].Untreated PED can cause corneal thinning,resulting in corneal perforation.
