Purpose:
To describe our experience of the use of subconjunctival bevacizumab in conjunction with fine-needle diathermy for the treatment of corneal vascularization.
Methods:
Retrospective analysis of cases treated between 2010 and 2013.
Results:
Those patients with corneal lipid deposition had good results following treatment with 3/5 cases requiring more than one session of treatment. A single patient with severe atopy and multiple previous failed penetrating keratoplasty underwent five sessions of treatment but his third graft subsequently also failed.
Conclusion:
Concurrent use of subconjunctival bevacizumab with FND gives good results in patients with lipid deposition; however, the management of cases with ongoing inflammatory processes is much more challenging.
