After lamellar keratoplasty, Schirmer I test (S I t), tear break-up time (BUT) test, fluorescein staining test were used to judge the effect of the surgery at different time point. RESULTS: The S 1 t were greatly increased in 7 clays post operation (11.86+/-2.28 -25.14+/-1.97, 19.86+/-1.61) (P<0.05), there is no significant difference between 2nd month, 3rd month post-operative and pre-operation(11.86+/- 2.28 - 14.57+/-1.48, 8.14+/-0.86) (P >0.05). The mean break-up time decreased in 7 days post operation (5.00+/-1.31 -2.71+/- 0.18, 2.57+/- 0.20, 2.71+/- 0.36, 2.43+/- 0.20) (P <0.05). The mean scores of fluorescence increased post-operatively (0.14+/- 0.14 - 8.00+/- 0.00, 8.00+/- 0.00, 8.00+/- 0.00, 7.57+/- 0.20) (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Lamellar keratoplaty influence the tear film stability, artificial tears and improving corneal epithelium cured medicine should be used after surgery.展开更多
