Abstract

1. Purpose:

Describe a novel modification of Emulsion polymer Isocyanate-gluing using anterior lens capsule as scaffold in the management of corneal perforations.

2. Design:

Five Eyes with non-infectious, non-traumatic sterile corneal perforation with size ≤3 mm recruited in this study. Anterior lens capsule obtained from the older patients (Age>65 years) undergoing routine femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery.

3. Results:

None of the patients had cyanoacrylate glue associated uveitis in the immediate post operative period. All five patients had successful anterior chamber formation at the end of 3 months follow up. Anterior capsule seen as hyperreflective layer on anterior segment optical coherence tomography

4. Conclusion:

Biological Drape with cyanoacrylate glue application is a safe effective modified technique to manage corneal emergency which can be easily learned and performed by novice surgeons
