Abstract

Retrospective case series of 24 eyes of 18 patients. Mean age was 24.2 years with M:F of 1:1.3, mean duration symptoms was 7.2 years. Indication for surgical intervention were Steven Johnson Syndrome (n=12,48%) recurrent symblepharon secondary to alkali injury, trauma and infection (n=3, 12%) and severe contracted socket (n=9, 36%).Ocular surface reconstruction with oral MMG was performed to replace the eyelid margin keratinisation and/or augment the posterior lamella (n= 11, 61%) and for lining the reconstructed socket (n=7,39%) At a mean follow up of 12 months (3-36 months) all cases report symptomatic improvement, well epithelialized ocular surface, well positioned eyelid margins and acceptable cosmesis.

Conclusion- Optimum long-term surgical outcomes have been reported in our series with use of oral MMG for ocular surface reconstruction in various clinical indications
