Abstract
- We present two cases which underwent complex ocular surface reconstruction to achieve a stable ocular surface. Conjunctival autograft (CAG) procedure was required more than once, in addition to simple limbal epithelial transplantation to address extensive symblepharon in the eyes with total unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency secondary to acid ocular burns. These cases demonstrate that multiple CAGs may be harvested from the contralateral unaffected eye to correct recurrent symblepharon without any donor site complications if the correct surgical technique is adopted.
