Abstract

In plastic operations of the fornix the most important part of the reconstruction in cases without defect of the subconjunctival planes is to cover the defect with a plastic to make impossible the formation of symblepharon and to permit the spontaneous epithelialisation of the fornix. We operated on seven patients with this method and we always obtained very good fornix.
