This is to emphasize the important role of surgical consideration of the epiblepharop or ectropion as the supplemental method, in adequate treatment of the corneal involvement especially for the corneal ulcer. The author has felt that the surgical correction of the intumed or intuming tendency of the margin of the lower-lid has been much more effective to cure the corneal ulcers which prevalently seen in lower portion of the cornea. This is confirmed through his 4D years clinical experiences.

Corneal ulcerations are divided into two morphologic types: central and marginal. Marginal corneal ulcerations are characterized by focal, muItifocal, multifocal or diffuse ulcerative, infiltrative, or vascular involvement of the peripheral cornea, and the exact pathogenesis of these ulcerations is not clearly understood but infectious, toxic or autoimmune factors may be involved. The authors treated one peripheral corneal ulcer patient, no respond to steroid and antibiotic therapy, with lamellar keratoplasty and had a good result.

The study was carried out in 372 patients with fungal corneal ulcer at the Central Hospital of Ophthalmology in 2004. Results showed that: this disease is more common in women than men, at working age from 20 to 60. 100% of inpatient had fungal using fresh sample microscopy test. The majority of patients came to hospital after having symptoms from 1 to 2 weeks. The patients were treated by two method: internal treatments (55.3%) and surgery (44.7%). Internal treatments included antifungal, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and anti-necrosis antibiotics, cornea nutrition agents, lugol solution 2%, potassium iodide electrophoresis 2%, midriasis collyre…; Surgical procedures included trabeculectomy 5%, corneal sharpening 50%, corneal graft 18%, tarsorrhaphy 01%, intraocular remove 12%. Patient's vision did not increase significantly, fingers count was under 5m. In general, treatment did not obtaine significant improvements because of late admission and severe disease, treatment duration was about 99 days. This disease may persistent, recurrent. Poor vision causes many severe complications, especially perforation occurred in 21/147 inpatients

This paper is to review pathogenetic mechanisms in inflammatory diseases of the cornea. After demonstration of immune corneal reactions were first undertaken in the early 20th century, the considerable changes in concept of corneal inflammation were taken. It has been the focus of immune mechanism to introduce the various aspects of corneal inflammation, especially definition of inflammation, inflammatory stimulus, normal host response, and histopathalogical evolutionof simple corneal ulcer and repair of corneal tissues.

The authors studied retrospectively medical and laboratory records of 270 patients (18.69% of all patients) with bacterial ulcer of cornea in Department of cornea diseases (National Institute of Ophthalmology) from January to December 1999. The results are as follow: 84.44% of patients lived in countryside. 73.7% of patients were at working age. The most common agent was fungus (50%), followed by bacteria (44.07%). 49.08% of patients were hospitalized one month after development of the disease. 12.61% of cases used incorrectly corticoid. Most of cases (91.86%) were hospitalized in blindness

Study aimed to introduce the etiology and pathogen of microbial ulcerative keratitis as well as biological features, impact of microorganism. The study also introduced the diagnosis of causative agents and treatment of diseases due to common microorganism such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, S. pneumonia, Moraxella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa

We have investigated the therapeutic effectiveness of T-lens(Soflens(R)) in 105 patients(110 eyes) with various corneal diseases. The results are as follows: 1. Cornea diseases, which revealed the good therapeutic effectiveness, are ccrneal perforation, postoperative uses, corneal ulcer, corneal erosion, and corneal edema. 2. Corneal disease, which revealed the rapid therapeutic effectiveness, is corneal edema. 3. Corneal diseases, which revealed no response, are neuroparalytic keratitis and radiation keratitis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of five-layered reinforced amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation for treating deep corneal ulcer or perforation. CASE SUMMARY: We performed a five-layered reinforced AM transplant in three cases of corneal ulceration or perforation using mechanical compressed lyophilized AMs. In all cases, the perforated cornea healed with re-epithelization within 2 weeks and the ocular surface was stabilized for more than 1 year. CONCLUSIONS: Five-layered reinforced AM transplantation may be an alternative method for treating deep corneal ulcers or perforations.

A Case of fungus corneal ulceration of the left eye was presented. The fungus was classified as a Tricophyton. The eye was treated successfully with Griseofulvin and chymotrypsin.
