ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To study the effect of topical autologous serum in the treatment of recurrent punctate corneal erosions.METHODS:
A total of 10 eyes from recurrent corneal erosion patients, who had suffered from recurrence after initial treatment with conventional therapy were treated using topical autologous serum from October 2001 to April 2003. We investigated the efficacy of this method over conventional therapy by retrospective review of their medical records.RESULTS:
The recurrence rate of erosions before treatment with autologous serum eyedrops ranged from once every 2months to twice a month. Mean follow-up time was 11.0 +/- 4.6 months (range, 6~19 months). There was one case of recurrence 3 months after first treatment with autologous serum eyedrops which was effectively cured with autologous serum eyedrops. No side effects were noted in any of the treated patients.CONCLUSIONS:
Topical autologous serum application may be considered as an effective and safe treatment modality in recurrent corneal erosions.
