Abstract:
The manifestations of rheumatic disease on ocular surface include dry eye, marginal nonbacterial corneal ulcer (corneal melting) and necrotizing scleritis. The pathogenesis involves with immune complex response. We use artificial tears to relief symptom in associated dry eye patients. For the superficial corneal ulcer we administer 0.5% heparin and 1% cyclosporin A or 0.05% FK506 topically to the eye, while for the deep corneal ulcer or tending to perforation or perforated, we employ lamellar keratoplasty or penetrating keratoplasty or sclera transplantation.
