Management of corneal neo-vascularization in contact lens wearers

ABSTRACT

Seventeenth patients were chosen [contact tens wearers] with severe coneal neo-vascularization. The cases were divided into two groups, generalized and localized types. The local cortisone treatment was used for both groups, great improvement was observed in the first group [Generalized neo-vascularization] after local cortisone drops and injection. But no improvement was noticed in the second group [Localized pannus formation] except after argon laser photocoagualtion for the neo-vascularization
