Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with corneal Mooren's ulcers (MU) and explore potential risk factors for recurrence after keratoplasty.
Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed 87 patients (101 eyes) diagnosed with MU. Factors associated with recurrence after keratoplasty were identified using correlation analysis, and a clinical scoring system was developed based on the magnitude of the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Mooren's ulcer is a painless and idiopathic ulcer of the peripheral cornea related to autoimmunity against a corneal stromal antigen, calgranulin C. Corneal involvement is isolated. There are no specific histopathological features to differentiate Mooren's ulcer from pseudo-Mooren's, the latter being part of a systemic disease.

Article Synopsis
- Mooren's ulcer (MU) is a rare and serious eye condition that causes crescent-shaped corneal ulcers, which can lead to blindness if untreated.
- Despite various treatments available, there is no definitive evidence on the best approach due to a lack of thorough clinical trials.
- A case study of a 20-year-old male who underwent a personalized treatment plan using corticosteroids, surgery, and Cyclosporine A showed successful healing of the ulcer and no disease recurrence, with AS-OCT imaging helping to guide the treatment effectively.
