Inflammatory Diseases of the Peripheral Cornea

A clinical study to evaluate therapeutic efficacy of soft contact lenses in corneal diseases

“…In his study improvement was in 3 cases and 6 cases remained same. 9 This is in agreement with our study that soft contact lenses are useful in majority of corneal perforation and descemetocoel as they cause rapid reformation of anterior chamber and healing if uses temporarily. In present study improvement in case of corneal ulcer was reported in 70 % cases.…”

“…10 Mondino BJ also reported improvement in patients of corneal ulcer. 9 The results of our study are comparable with the studies done by other workers that contact lenses promote healing by rapid epithelisation of ulcer.…”

Clinical presentation and outcomes of Mooren’s ulcer: a 2-year retrospective cohort study

“…1). Although a 100% success was not achieved in this study, our data showed good management outcomes, which are comparable to similar studies that reported a good response to the management strategies [22,26] . Moore's ulcer, like cataracts [27] and glaucoma [28] , poses a possible blindness danger that is being treated and controlled in our facility with the goal of providing holistic eye care.…”

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography imaging in peripheral ulcerative keratitis, a corneal structural description

“…In our series the diagnosis of PUK was certain as laboratory work-up found a systemic vasculitis in all cases, whereas classically 50% of PUK cases have an associated collagen vascular disease [6]. Our findings are the first step towards a better classification using AS OCT of the peripheral corneal inflammatory lesions' spectrum, making progress towards standardization of their diagnosis and management, a difficult goal in rare diseases.…”
