“…After peeling, the residual solidified adhesives could be removed slowly with soaking in soap or water. In the United Kingdom and United States of America, isolated cases of adverse reactions and demand for restricted use of the substance had been voiced 2,3,4 . Dr Fonseka 2 illustrating a case involving a 10 year‐old boy, brought up the potential danger of suffocation in the event of the patient's digits being accidentally bonded to the mouth and nose.…”

“…Temporary techniques include cyanoacrylate glue (lasts for few days), or levator paralysis using botulinum A toxin injections (last for an average of 16 days), or absorbable sutures (last for 4-6 weeks). Permanent techniques include excising opposing lid margins or tarsal pillar suturing; [132][133][134] debridement or excision, or overgrafting with AM or mucous membrane for the treatment of keratinized eyelid margin; lateral tarsal strip for correcting lower lids malposition secondary to involutional changes; [135] anterior lamellar recession or posterior lamellar surgery with grafting for correcting cicatricial entropion; [136,137] and a skin Z-plasty or skin graft with or without horizontal shortening for correcting cicatricial ectropion [138].…”

Risk factors for corneal transplantation failure include both immunologic factors, such as graft rejection, corneal neovascularization, and peripheral anterior synechiae, as well as non-immunologic factors, such as ocular surface disorders (OSD) and glaucoma. This review highlights the necessity of having healthy ocular surface epithelia, tears, and eyelids. It presents different types of OSD, their underlying pathology, and their impact on native cornea and corneal grafts. In addition, a range of proposed donor and surgical factors influencing surface integrity following corneal transplant are addressed. Current medical and surgical research, both pre- and post-operative that promise to further improve the outcome of corneal grafts in the context of OSD are discussed.

“…The systemic condition for immobilization; duration of exposure signs in the ocular surface; location, depth, and dimensions of the corneal ulcer; duration of effective blepharorrhaphy; and the time to heal were recorded. nerve paralysis related exposure and some accidental tarsorrhaphies with glue have been reported (3,4). The aim of this study is to increase the awareness of the availability of a practical and effective alternative method for tarsorrhaphy which is glue blepharorrhaphy.…”
