Lenticule Implantation and Autologous Serum New Approach in Treatment of Adenoviral Keratitis Disease
Sponsor: Eye Hospital Pristina Kosovo
Summary
Adenoviral keratitis(caused by adenovirus) is one of the most frequently diagnosed eye diseases. Most of these infections have symptoms like (Ocular itchiness and irritation, chemosis (conjunctival edema),photophobia, epiphora, foreign body sensation, epithelial keratitis etc.Adenoviral subepithelial infiltration is one of the most difficult complication to treat. Our purpose is to evaluate corneal transparency, recurrence, and visual acuity in patients with adenoviral subepithelial infiltration by first removing the infiltrative stroma with a smile and implanting the same volume of fresh lenticule in the prepared stromal pocket.
