Microsurgical Treatment of Mooren‘s Ulcer

Objective:To evaluate effect of lamellar keratoplasty(LKP) on Mooren's corneal ulcer.Methods:The effect ,postoperative astigmatism,postoperative vision,ulcer recurrence of postperation,and surgical complications of two groups of consecutive Mooren's ulcer inpatients treated respectively by non-microsurgery of LKP and microsurgery of LKP were analyzed.Results:There were significant differences of the effect,postoperative astigmatism,postoperative vision,ulcer recurrence of postoperation,and surgical complications be-tween the two groups.The effect and postoperative vision of the microsurgery-tyeated group were betterthan those of the non-microsurgery-treated group.The postoperative astigma-tism,ulcer recurrence of postoperation, and surgical complications of the micro-surgery-treated group were less than those of the nonmicrosurgery-treated group.Conclusion:Microsrugery of LKP of Mooren's corneal ulcer can greatly improve the ul-cer healing and postoperative vision, and reduce the surgical complication and the ulcer recurrence of postoperation.Eye Science 2000;16:56-60.
