Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

In order to seek more efficient surgical method to treat total xerophthalmia.

METHOD:

Microvascular submandibular gland transfer was used to reconstruct lacrimal gland for management of the dry eye. 5 cases (6 eyes) with total xerophthalmia were operated with this method.

RESULTS:

All the patients were followed up for 1 - 30 months. The results were satisfactory, the submandibular salivary gland relieved the dryness and improved visual acuities with negligible side effect.

CONCLUSION:

Microvascular submandibular gland transfer is potentially the best surgical solution to total xerophthalmia.
