Clinical findings in Case 1. Anterior segment photograph of Case 1 before surgery (a) and the immediate postoperative image (b). Morphological changes of amniotic membrane (AM) after fibrin glue-assisted pterygium surgery in Case 1 (c-f). Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) revealed thick fibrin sealant materials (asterisk) under grafted AM (white circle) on postoperative day 1 (c), which gradually diminished over 2 weeks after surgery (d, e). Complete re-epithelialization over the grafted AM was observed at 15 days postoperatively (arrow). Integrated amnion within sclera underwent progressive changes (decreased hyper-reflectivity of AM, decreased dead space under AM, and even (uniform) distribution of epithelium over AM) at 1 month postoperatively (f)
