ABSTRACT
The 747 corneal epithelial erosion cases were evaluated clinically from January 1986 to February 1988 at Catholic University Medical College, St. Mary's Hospital. The results were as follows: 1. Out of 747 corneal epithelial erosion cases, 286 cases(38.3%) and 283 cases(37.9%) resulted from mechanical and postoperative causes, respectively. 2. The large number of cases were foung in the age group of 1 to 9 years(21.9%) and in the ages older than 60 years(l9.8%), which were in proportion to the said causes. 3. The onset of corneal erosion after cataract extraction within postoperative 3 weeks(56.1%) was most common. There were 115 cases(45.3%) in which corneal erosions developed after the cataract extraction lasted up to 2 weeks. 4. The cure rate of corneal erosion was 85.0%(635 cases), and in corneal erosion developed after cataract extraction was 89.8%(254 cases). 5. There was no statistical significance in the frequency of corneal erosions developed after cataract extraction among diabetics and nondiabetics.
