Churashov SV, et al. - Experts assessed the effectiveness of “wet” transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy (TE-PTK) for treating persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) in the corneal graft after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Patients with post-PKP graft epithelial defects lasting >3 months despite previous treatments with extensive wear soft contact lenses, amniotic membrane transplantation, and tarsorrhaphy were treated with wet TE-PTK. The effectiveness of Wet TE-PTK was seen for patients with post-PKP PEDs in the corneal graft who failed conservative measures or previous surgical interventions. A total of 4.3±1.3 days was the mean time from wet TE-PTK to complete reepithelization.
