Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the long-term results of Deep Anterior Lamellar keratoplasty for limbal dermoid treatment. Subjects & methods: Using a retrospective design combined with cross-sectional description to recruit 48 patients with 51 eyes with limbal dermoid who underwent Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty from January 2013 to May 2020 in Cornea Department, Vietnam National Eye Hospital. Results: Most patients after surgery had good or average treatment results (86.4%), only 13.6% of eyes showed poor results due to corneal opacities. All patients were satisfied with the plastic results after surgery. Some patients in the study could not have their visual acuity and refraction measured at the follow-up time due to lack of cooperation or being too young. Possible complications: During surgery, there is often a risk of corneal perforation and bleeding. Neovascularization, corneal thread loosening, and graft infection are common risks after surgery. If these complications were not identified early and intervened well, it can lead to graft failure and corneal opacity. Conclusion: Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty is an effective method in the treatment of limbal dermoid.
