    Abstract:
    This study evaluated the effect of microsurgery of lamellar keratoplasty (LKP) on Mooren's corneal ulcer. The surgical effect, postoperative astigmatism, postoperative vision, postoperative ulcer recurrence, and surgical complications of 2 groups of consecutive Mooren's ulcer inpatients treated respectively by non-microsurgery of LKP and microsurgery of LKP were analyzed. There were significant differences of the effect, postoperative astigmatism, postoperative vision, postoperative ulcer recurrence, and surgical complications between the 2 groups. The effect and postoperative vision of the microsurgery-treated group were better than those of the non-microsurgery-treated group. The postoperative astigmatism, postoperative ulcer recurrence, and surgical complications of the microsurgery-treated group were less than those of the non-microsurgery-treated group. Microsurgery of LKP of Mooren's corneal ulcer can greatly improve the cure rate of the disease and postoperative vision, and reduce surgical complication and postoperative ulcer recurrence.
