PURPOSE: To manage ocular surface complications and recover conjunctival and corneal epithelia after unilateral severe chemical burn. METHODS: We performed simple conjunctival epithelial transplantation (SCET) to obtain renewal of fornix and bulbar-tarsal conjunctiva epithelium, followed by simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) to recover limbal function and epithelial corneal surface. Slit-lamp examination, fluorescein staining, in vivo confocal microscopy, Kheirkhah grading system for symblepharon severity, Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, and best-corrected visual acuity were assessed before surgery, at 1 to 3 months after SCET and SLET, and thereafter at 6 to 12 to 36 months. RESULTS: Two patients with unilateral burn injuries underwent surgery. Eye mobility and fornix reconstruction were promptly achieved, and conjunctival epithelium with goblet cells was observed on the bulbar and tarsal conjunctiva 3 months after SCET. After SLET, corneal epithelium and cornea-conjunctiva transition zone were observed at 3 and 6 months, respectively. From before surgery to 6 months after SLET, symblepharon improved from grade IVa2 and IIIb2 to Ic0 and Ib0, the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale changed from grade 6 and 4 to 0, and best-corrected visual acuity upgraded from 1.40 and 1.10 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution to 0.5 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, in patient 1 and 2, respectively. After 3 years, results remained stable. CONCLUSIONS: SCET effectively healed the bare conjunctival area relieving subjective symptoms and discomfort. Sequential SCET and SLET showed to be feasible in restoring a normal ocular surface with long-lasting results suggesting the aim in patients with severe ocular burn is not merely corneal epithelium renewal but also the regeneration of ocular surface homeostasis.
