摘要
New approaches to improving corneal epithelial wound healing include stromal puncture and removal of abnormal basement membrane material by excimer laser ablation (phototherapeutic keratectomy). Non-healing corneal erosions and chemical burns may also benefit from laser excision of the damaged surface to permit more normal epithelial attachments. Reduction of postsurgical astigmatism may be facilitated by adjustable sutures after penetrating keratoplasty or by molding the cornea with the use of a rigid contact lens in the immediate postoperative period.
