Tuck-in tenon's patch graft for corneal perforation

Abstract

Corneal perforation remains to be one of the most dreaded complications of ocular trauma and its prompt diagnosis and management is key to quick recovery. Tuck-in Tenon's patch graft is an extremely viable and handy technique to tackle corneal perforation. The tenon's tissue, being autologous, reduces the chance of rejection while providing good tectonic support. This is a case series of tuck-in Tenon's patch graft done for cases of corneal perforation. Through the case series, we try to put forth our experience with this novel technique.
