    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ipsilateral rotating autokeratoplasty offers a solution for corneal scars by repositioning the damaged area. This surgical technique achieved clear grafts and satisfactory visual results in most patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery

    Background:

    • Corneal scars can impair vision, necessitating surgical intervention.
    • Ipsilateral rotating autokeratoplasty is a technique to address central corneal scars.

    Observation:

    • Ten cases of ipsilateral rotating autokeratoplasty were performed.
    • The procedure involves rotating an eccentric corneal button to displace the scar.

    Findings:

    • The technique is comparable to penetrating keratoplasty.
    • No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported.
    • Grafts remained clear with satisfactory visual outcomes; astigmatism was not a significant issue.

    Implications:

    • This procedure offers a viable alternative for managing specific corneal pathologies.
  • It can restore visual function by centralizing clear corneal tissue.
