Abstract
Purpose:
To report the use of processed pericardial tissue in reconstructing the anterior ocular segment.

Three case reports.
Result:
Processed pericardial tissue was found to be a helpful adjunct in providing tectonic support and promoting epithelialization in the cases described.
Conclusion:
Processed pericardial tissue has potential application to a variety of anterior ocular segment conditions.
