Purpose:
To report the results of a selective localized tenonplasty procedure based on findings of ocular surface fluorescein angiography (FA).
Methods:
Six consecutive patients with severe chemical burns were included in this study. Using fluorescein angiogram images, patients underwent selective localized tenonplasty to cover the identified ischemic areas in FA.
Results:
FA 1 week after surgery showed a perfused ocular surface in all eyes except for 1 quadrant of limbal ischemia in 1 eye. After the second tenonplasty, recirculation was also detected in that quadrant. None of the eyes perforated during the follow-up period.
Conclusions:
We observed acceptable outcomes in our patients after selective tenonplasty based on ocular surface angiography.
