Conjunctival autograft transplantation for unilateral ocular surface diseases. 1983

W K Herman, and D J Doughman, and R L Lindstrom

Rehabilitation of the diseased ocular surface by autologous conjunctival transplantation as first described by Thoft has expanded the possibilities for eventual visual restoration of patients with severe ocular surface disease. This paper will introduce a new surgical technique for diseased ocular surface preparation and for the acquisition, transfer, and placement of a 360 degrees ring of autologous conjunctiva in patients with unilateral surface pathology. Patients representing different unilateral surface diseases with up to 2 years follow-up are presented and discussed.

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
