Modified Corneal EA With Middle LKP for Severe Corneal Burn

China20 participantsStarted 2018-05-10

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether modified corneal epithelial autograft (EA) combined with allogeneic middle lamellar keratoplasty (AMLK) is more effective than limbal autograft (LA) with AMLK for ocular surface reconstruction in patients with severe corneal burn.

✕. LSCD by ocular surface disorders other than ocular burns.
✕. Eyelids malposition.
✕. The center corneal thickness\<450µm, the depth of corneal opacity\<150µm or the full corneal lamellar opacity.
