Individualized Corneal Patching for Treatment of Corneal Trauma Combined with Tissue Defects

Figure 1

Corneal patching with a conical/irregular wedge-shaped graft. (a-b) Penetrating corneal patching with a conical graft. The graft is sutured onto the host bed with interrupted sutures. (c-d) Lamellar corneal patching using an irregular wedge-shaped graft. The graft width is ＜1.5 mm, and the suture starts from the host cornea to the graft and finally through the host cornea on the opposite side. This continuous suture method is also applicable for penetrating corneal patching.
