“…Cyanoacrylate glue can be used to seal the eyelids together, but issues include corneal abrasion and the potential for the lashes to fuse with the glue. 7 , 11 , 12 The therapeutic role of scleral contact lenses extends to treating ocular surface disease, though they require fitting, can feel bulky and large, and are not frequently covered by insurance. 13 , 14 Therefore, the only viable options left were lid occlusion with tape adhesives.…”

“…Cosar and colleagues reported a 91% success rate for the treatment of non-healing epithelial defects (Cosar et al 2001). Alternatives such as cyanoacrylate glue, tape, and upper eyelid appliques have not been widely adopted because they lack the durability and efficacy of tarsorrhaphy (Ehrenhaus and D'Arienzo 2003;Robinson et al 2006).…”

ABSTRACT:Fibrin glue has been researched as an alternative method for tissue synthesis and is known for its capability to promote hemostasis at the application site, good approximation of wound edges and fast healing. The current study consisted in the application of fibrin glue derived from snake venom as treatment for experimental corneal ulcers. Twenty-one dogs had their corneas experimentally prepared through lamellar keratectomy (of standardized diameter and depth). Animals were divided into seven groups of three animals each. Six experimental groups were periodically evaluated and collection was carried out on the 1 st , 3 rd , 7 th , 15 th , 30 th and 60 th post-operative days, whereas one control group was evaluated throughout the experiment. Analyses consisted in the clinical evolution and in the histopathological study of all operated on eyes. Results indicated that fibrin glue was efficient in repairing keratectomy wounds in dogs and contributed to an earlier healing phenomenon, avoiding edema formation and keeping corneal clearness. The use of fibrin glue derived from snake venom showed to be easy to apply, feasible with animal models and of low cost, avoiding the lesion progress and allowing fast and appropriate corneal healing.
