Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Biomaterials in Medicine

Background:

  • Small corneal perforations are typically managed using cyanoacrylate glue and bandage contact lenses (BCL).
  • Enhancing the structural integrity of glue-based repairs often involves additional materials like sterile drapes.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in terms of strength and biocompatibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel technique for securing small corneal perforations.
  • To utilize the anterior lens capsule as a biological drape for enhanced perforation repair.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of this new method in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A novel technique employing the anterior lens capsule as a biological drape was developed.
  • The anterior capsule, obtained from femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), was folded and placed over the corneal perforation.
  • Cyanoacrylate glue was applied over the draped capsule, followed by a bandage contact lens (BCL).

Main Results:

  • The technique was successfully applied to a series of five patients with small corneal perforations.
  • None of the patients required repeat surgical intervention.
  • All treated corneas healed completely within three months, demonstrating no signs of vascularization.

Conclusions:

  • The use of anterior lens capsule as a biological drape offers a unique and effective method for securing small corneal perforations.
  • This approach enhances the stability of cyanoacrylate glue repairs.
  • The technique shows promising results for promoting uncomplicated corneal healing.
