麻风患者同于面神经受侵,眼轮匝肌部分或完全瘫痪,不能闭合眼睑,睑裂增大,形成兔眼,使眼睑的保护作用丧失,如伴有角膜感觉障碍则易发生角膜炎、角膜溃疡或穿孔,严重危害视力。麻风兔眼十分常见,危害巨大,必须认真对待。
A nylon filament method for cor-
recting lagophthalmos has been more extensively used to leprosy patients for the last ten years and more in china. For the May 1994 to the June 1995, the author examined 92 eyes of 52 cases who had received the operation 2. 5 to 25 years ago in Guangdong. No eye of them can entirely close its palpebral fissure and the fissures remain over 6 mm at closing the eye in 81 eyes of 46 cases,but on the basis of the records of case history the fissures become wider than those before the operation in 32 eyes of 19 persons and it was also noted that two week after the operation the nylon filament began to be exposed or loosing and even to be infected, although the size of palpebral .fissures has to some extent lessened in a shorter duration after the operation.
