    Summary

    For corneal disease cases unsuitable for standard hydrophilic bandage lenses, a surgical combination with a conjunctival flap offers simple application. This method ensures easy lens removal and prevents accidental dislodgement, aiding corneal healing.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Disease Management
    • Ophthalmic Surgery

    Background:

    • Traditional hydrophilic bandage lenses are standard for corneal healing.
    • Certain corneal diseases present challenges for fitting standard bandage lenses.
    • Alternative methods are needed for effective corneal protection in difficult cases.

    Observation:

    • A surgical technique combining a hydrophilic bandage lens with a conjunctival flap was evaluated.
    • This combined approach is a relatively simple surgical procedure.
    • The technique addresses limitations of traditional bandage lens fitting.

    Findings:

    • The combined hydrophilic bandage lens and conjunctival flap method is effective.
    • It allows for easy removal of the bandage lens post-procedure.
    • Accidental dislodgement of the bandage lens is eliminated, ensuring consistent corneal coverage.

    Implications:

    • This surgical approach provides a viable alternative for managing corneal diseases where standard lenses fail.
    • It enhances patient safety by preventing lens dislodgement.
    • The technique may improve outcomes in complex corneal wound healing and disease management.
