Purpose: To develop a novel grading scale for assessing conjunctival inflammation in cicatrizing conjunctivitis associated with Pemphigoid.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of digital slit-lamp images for patients with cicatricial pemphigoid in which best-quality conjunctival images for each eyelid at each photographic session was selected and anonymized. These images were subsequently prospectively assessed for inflammation severity on a scale of 0-4+ by a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist specializing in pemphigoid.

Article Synopsis
  • The study introduces a surgical technique called oral mucous membrane tarsal patch grafting (MMTPG) for treating tarsal surface abnormalities beyond the eyelid margin.
  • It includes a retrospective analysis of 8 patients with various refractory tarsal conjunctival conditions, focusing on outcomes like corneal epitheliopathy, visual acuity, and patient symptoms.
  • Results showed no recurrences of epithelial defects, improved visual acuity in five cases, and reduced medication needs, indicating MMTPG's effectiveness in difficult-to-treat conditions.
