Abstract
- A severe chemical or thermal injury is a troublesome ocular insult, which usually results in persistant corneal epithelial defect, stromal scarring, and neovascularization. For resurfacing chemically burned cornea, limbal autograft transplantation is presented in 2 cases of chemical and/or thermal injury with follow-up of 6, 8 months. The operative technique involved transfer of four free grafts of limbal tissue from the uninjured fellow eye to the severely injured eye. Clinical results of the cases have shown surface healing with stable epithelial adhesion without recurrent erosion or persistant epithelial defect.
