Abstract

To compare outcomes of phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) versus epithelial debridement combined with anterior stromal puncture (ASP) or diamond burr for the treatment of recurrent corneal erosions (RCES) in a large tertiary centre. Patients with a diagnosis of RCES secondary to trauma or epithelial basement membrane dystrophy who underwent a surgical procedure between 2009 and 2019 were included in the study. The following data were collected: demographics, ocular history, prior medical treatment, ocular surgeries, intervention, complete epithelialization at postoperative week 1, recurrences, and complications. Recurrence was defined as either an objective finding of a corneal epithelial defect or symptoms suggestive of recurrent epithelial erosion on history. Recurrence rate and time to epithelialization were compared between groups. A total of 97 eyes (73 patients) were included in the study. Mean patient age was 51 ± 16.1 years, and mean follow-up was 474 days. RCES was secondary to epithelial basement membrane dystrophy in 80% (n = 78 of 97), trauma (15%, n = 15 of 97), or idiopathic (4%, n = 4 of 97). Epithelial debridement with ASP was performed in 34 eyes (35%), diamond burr in 33 eyes (33%), and PTK in 30 eyes (31%). Compared with epithelial debridement with ASP (recurrence 29.4%), the recurrence rate was significantly lower for both the diamond burr (9.1%, p = 0.031) and PTK groups (10%, p = 0.048). The diamond burr and PTK groups also had a significantly higher rate of complete epithelialization at 1 week (p < 0.05). Compared with epithelial debridement with ASP, diamond burr and PTK have significantly lower rates of recurrence and time to epithelialization and may be considered first for surgical management of RCES.
