1.Primary Outcome
Title Patients With Corneal Epithelial Healing Time Within 14 Days
Hide Description Patients were hospitalized and examined daily for graft re-epithelialization, which was the main outcome measure.Corneal epithelial healing(the process which the new corneal epithelial cells regenerated to cover the bare cornea lost of its epithelium, the cornea's outer layer) was recorded daily by slit-lamp examination with fluorescein staining.Patients with post-operative chronic persistent epithelial defects for >14 days after the operation were treated with therapeutic contact lens (TCL) application and followed up as outpatients.
Time Frame every day till total re-epithelization up to 14 days
