Purpose: To report the long-term surgical outcomes of acquired ankyloblepharon correction using mucous membrane graft.
Methods: Five eyes of 4 patients (median age, 19 years) with acquired ankyloblepharon were managed using eyelid splitting and mucous membrane graft anchored to the recti muscles on the bulbar surface in the respective quadrant and onto the bare tarsal surface. Outcome measures include a change in the palpebral fissure width, ability to fit scleral contact lenses, visual acuity, and cosmesis.

Background: Managing recurrent pterygium combined with symblepharon presents significant challenges in ophthalmology. Clinicians aim to reconstruct the ocular surface, alleviate eye movement restrictions, and minimize recurrence risks.
Objective: Evaluation of efficacy and safety of continuous blanket sutures (CBS) for fixation of large autologous conjunctival grafts in patients with severe recurrent pterygium with symblepharon.
