Overall mean duration between clinical presentation and AMT was 23.59 (30.7) days, a median 16 days (IQR; 2-26 days). Failure rate was high in Group 5 (n = 3: 30.0%) and Group 2 (n = 3: 27.3%). Time taken for epithelial closure was slower in groups 1 and 5 patients. The average time taken for reabsorption of AMG was 14.98 days. The complications included repeat AMG was in four eyes (9.75%), and graft displacement was noted in four eyes (9.75%) required resuturing, three eyes required TPK (7.31%), and one eye underwent evisceration (2.43%) following severe corneal melt secondary to neurotropic ulcer. The mean log MAR visual acuity improved from 1.52 to 1.26 at the 3 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
