| Popis: |
Two patients developed Mooren's ulcer following cataract extraction. The first case was complicated by ocular trauma 8 years prior to surgery and by vitreous loss at the time of surgery. The second patient underwent cataract extraction without complication. Surgical trauma may have been the inciting factor in the development of these ulcers. Both patients experienced dramatic relief of ocular pain following the application of hydrophilic lenses. There was no apparent alteration in the course of the disease in either case. The use of hydrophilic soft lenses is suggested for symptomatic relief of the severe ocular pain experienced by patients with Mooren's ulcer. |
