Abstract

Tarsorrhaphy is widely used to protect the cornea, reduce evaporation of tears, and facilitate reepithelialization of the ocular surface. However, a dilemma ensues in patients when frequent neurological evaluations and postoperative examinations are needed. The modified temporary tarsorrhaphy in this study was simple to perform, provided stable eyelid closure, and could be opened and closed as needed. It could be easily reversed with minimal complications of the eyelid and it allowed the surgeon to control traction of the bolsters in all of 45 dogs with corneal epithelial defects. Also, The globe could be examined without further anesthesia, sutures, and pain at any time after surgery. It was concluded that this modified method might be effective for evaluation of the corneal healing process and useful for ocular surface reconstruction clinically.
