A fibrin sealant for perforated and preperforated corneal ulcers

F M Lagoutte et al. Br J Ophthalmol. 1989 Sep.

Abstract

Fibrin sealant is used to close perforated or preperforated corneal ulcers. In addition to the usual advantages of cyanoacrylates it is degraded physiologically and provides a good support for corneal healing. Corneal grafting can be avoided when contraindicated or postponed when conditions allow. This technique has been successful in nine eyes of eight patients.
