Chemical burning of the external eye by a strong acid or alkali often results in symblepharon formation despite conventional therapy. We report a case with application of a Megasoft Bandage Lens to prevent symblepharon reformation after surgical correction. Complete epithelial healing was established after 3 months, when the lens could be removed. No complications were found with this lens. No symblepharon reformation occurred < or = 6 months after the surgical reconstruction.

We treated 34 eyes of 32 patients who developed a hypotonous maculopathy after a trabeculectomy with mitomycin C with various treatment strategies. Placement of a Megasoft Bandage Contact Lens in 24 eyes did not result in a notable increase in intraocular pressure or visual acuity. Intrableb injection of autologous blood in 22 eyes resulted in a mean +/- standard deviation (S.

Shallow anterior chambers and leaking filtration blebs are possible complications after trabeculectomy that can be treated with therapeutic contact lenses. In most cases, however, treatment fails because these lenses are not large enough to cover the filtering bleb. We evaluated the use of a newly developed large diameter (20.
