Trachoma is still one of the world's major blinding diseases. Characteristically, trachoma causes deep scarring of the conjunctiva and tarsus that can result in tear deficiency, trichiasis, and entropion. Another common finding is a diffused corneal opacity that is the end stage of peripheral and central corneal infiltrates. The conventional treatment of the corneal opacities is keratoplasty, which has a guarded prognosis because of severe dryness and trichiasis. We report on our experience in treating patients with corneal trachoma with phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) with the excimer laser.
沙眼仍然是世界上主要的致盲疾病之一。典型的是，沙眼会导致结膜和睑板深层瘢痕形成，进而可能导致泪液缺乏、倒睫和睑内翻。另一个常见表现是弥漫性角膜混浊，这是周边和中央角膜浸润的终末期。角膜混浊的传统治疗方法是角膜移植术，由于严重的干眼和倒睫，其预后不佳。我们报告了使用准分子激光光治疗性角膜切削术（PTK）治疗沙眼性角膜病变患者的经验。
