Clinical and surgical outcomes of tectonic corneal patch grafts : insights from a tertiary referral hospital
Corneal patch grafting is a safe and effective method for maintaining ocular integrity in corneal melting and perforation that can not be closed using conventional methods. With a success rate of over 80%, corneal patch grafts can delay a larger full-thickness graft, especially in eyes with acute inflammation, until systemic therapy is effective.
