Description
Summary:AIM: To investigate the effect of comprehensive treatment of ocular alkali burn in different periods.<p>METHOD: A retrospective analysis was performed on 124 cases(166 eyes)of ocular alkali burns admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to December 12. According to the severity of the disease, a number of comprehensive measures were taken to treat the ocular alkali burn with drugs and surgery respectively. The patients were followed up for 6-12mo to observe the healing of ocular alkali burn and the final outcome of disease.<p>RESULTS: After treatment, the symptoms of all patients were relieved, the corneal conjunctiva healed, and no infection occurred. The average hospitalization time was 13d, totally 118 eyes were cured(71.1%), 43 eyes were improved(25.9%), 5 eyes were ineffective(3.0%). There was no complication in degree I and degree II of ocular alkali burn patients, degree III was better than degree IV, and the complication rate in degree III was lower than that in degree IV.<p>CONCLUSION: According to the corneal conjunctiva and eyelid injury evaluation of ocular alkali burn degree, choose appropriate time to take corresponding treatment measures, and give systemic and local drug treatment. Combined with ocular surface irrigation, anterior chamber puncture, amniotic membrane transplantation, conjunctival flap covering, corneal transplantation, limbal stem cell transplantation and other comprehensive treatment methods can obtain good clinical effect.
