Vicryl (polyglactin) 10-0 resorbable suture is rarely used, little known to ophthalmologists but may offer therapeutic and practical advantages in eligible cases of corneal trauma, particularly during a COVID-19 pandemic. This has imposed new sanitary restrictions : limited access to the operating room in ophthalmology only for functional emergencies and a drastically reduced capacity for external consultations in favor of teleconsultation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Vicryl 10-0 (polyglactin 910) resorbable monofilament suture in corneal trauma, rather than classic Nylon 10-0: structural and functional results, and adaptation of postoperative follow-up during a sanitary crisis period.
