Long-Term Clinical Outcome of Low-Temperature Plasma Ablation Treatment for Recurrent Corneal Erosions.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To observe the therapeutic effect of low-temperature plasma ablation in treating patients with recurrent corneal erosions (RCEs).

Materials and methods

From 2020 to 2022, 35 participants with unilateral RCEs voluntarily enrolled. Here, 35 eyes of 35 patients were treated with low-temperature plasma ablation (coblation). All surgeries were performed by the same doctor (X.H.). The coblation went back and forth over the entire erosion area around five times for about five minutes.
