Lamellar corneal autograft for corneal perforation
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology
|January 21, 2000
Abstract
Background:
Corneal perforation secondary to exteriorization of the haptic foot of the anterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) is a rare complication in IOL surgery.
Case Report:
A superior penetrating corneal defect developed in the right eye of a 74-year-old woman associated with exteriorization of the superior haptic of an anterior chamber IOL.
Methods:
We describe the technique of repositioning and successful patching of the defect using a lamellar cornea-sclera rotational autograft.
Conclusions:
This technique is useful for small perforations when cornea donor tissue is not available.
