Twelve eyes of 12 patients with a mean age of 66±10 y were included. The average followup was 23±10 mo. All 12 patients had limbal involvement. Smooth ocular surface and transparent cornea were achieved in all cases. No sign of inflammation, neovascularization, symblepharon or recurrence was noted at the last follow-up. We conclude that AMT with topical IFNα2 b drops restores a healthy ocular surface in OSSN without recurrence.展开更多
