We aimed to report on the cosmetic efficacy of corneal tattooing using India ink for resolving corneal opacities resulting from amniotic membrane grafting carried out to promote corneal wound healing in stromal corneal ulcers.
Amniotic membrane grafting of corneal ulcers was carried out in three patients. After corneal re-epithelialization, a 30-gauge needle filled with India ink was placed into the amniotic membrane space located between the regenerated corneal epithelium and the stromal bed. The ink was then carefully injected.
The cornea was successfully stained with India ink in all cases. There were no significant complications during the mean follow-up period of 17 months. All the patients were satisfied with the corneal staining.
When a corneal opacity occurs after an amniotic membrane graft for stromal corneal ulcer, corneal tattooing by intrastromal injection of India ink into the amniotic membrane space may be a very useful method of achieving a good cosmetic result.
我们旨在报告使用印度墨水进行角膜纹身以解决因羊膜移植促进角膜基质溃疡角膜伤口愈合而导致的角膜混浊的美容效果。
对三名患者进行角膜溃疡的羊膜移植。角膜重新上皮化后,将一根装满印度墨水的30号针头放入再生角膜上皮和基质床之间的羊膜间隙。然后小心地注入墨水。
所有病例角膜均成功被印度墨水染色。在平均17个月的随访期内无明显并发症。所有患者对角膜染色均满意。
当角膜基质溃疡羊膜移植后出现角膜混浊时,通过将印度墨水基质内注射到羊膜间隙进行角膜纹身可能是获得良好美容效果的非常有用的方法。
