We demonstrated the preliminary results of transplantation of EVCAU for corneal surface reconstruction in cases with total LSCD. Future studies are needed to further assess the long-term efficacy of this procedure.
The postoperative use of subconjunctival triamcinolone seems to benefit patients at increased risk of pterygium recurrence. It is relatively safe and is accompanied by few complications, but controlled and prospective studies are necessary to confirm its efficacy.
LCT proved to be the best option for treating corneal thinning. AMT represents an alternative that allows good visual recovery but does not restore corneal thickness as efficiently as LCT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
