| description | <b>AIM:</b> To evaluate and report the efficacy of combined surgical excision and corneal tattooing in patients with limbal dermoids.<b>METHODS:</b> In a retrospective interventional case series, 9 eyes of 8 patients were treated with combined surgery of simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing for limbal dermoids. Medical records, including best-corrected visual acuity, anterior segment photography, demographic, clinical data, and follow-up information were reviewed.<b>RESULTS:</b> The mean follow up period in this study was 50±15(range 36-77) months. There was no evidence of infection or recurrent limbal dermoids in any of the eyes during the follow-up period. All patients achieved good cosmetic outcomes with no complications.<b>CONCLUSION:</b> Simple keratectomy and corneal tattooing of limbal dermoids could be an alternative option for surgery, especially when a donor cornea is not available. |
