PURPOSE: To report the practical use and the effectiveness of cyanoacrylate glue blepharorrhaphy in immobilized patients with recalcitrant exposure keratopathy.
METHODS: Retrospective case series. Temporal two thirds of upper eyelid eyelashes were glued to lower eyelid skin with tissue adhesive n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (histoacryl blue) after application of a contact lens. The systemic condition for immobilization; duration of exposure signs in the ocular surface; location, depth, and dimensions of the corneal ulcer; duration of effective blepharorrhaphy; and the time to heal were recorded.
RESULTS: Twelve eyes of nine patients were treated. The reasons for immobilization were coma due to malignancy (3 patients), ischemic encephalopathy (2 patients), subarachnoid hemorrhage (2 patients), head trauma (1 patient), coma and hypotony of unknown cause (1 patient). All of the corneal ulcers healed within 4 to 11 days (mean: 5.5 days). Blepharorrhaphy opened spontaneously in 4 to 21 days (mean: 8.6 days).
CONCLUSIONS: Bedside glue blepharorrhaphy with tissue adhesive n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is a practical, economic, and effective procedure in the treatment of exposure keratopathy in immobilized patients.
