Abstract:
We describe a novel and simple technique for temporary lid closure in severe bilateral corneal exposure keratopathy, where a rapid method for corneal protection is required. The aim is to create a stable dressing base for secure closure of the eyelids that also allows instillation of medication and examination of the eye.
