“…Bonding strength was found to be greater in dry conditions. They also found that tensile strength decreased with an increase in alkyl side chains (i.e., butyl-cyanoacrylate Cyanoacrylate has been used for the treatment of corneal perforations and thinning [18]. Small corneal perforations or impending perforations can be avoided by early application of cyanoacrylate glue combined with application of topical antibiotics or a bandage contact lens to avoid microbial infections.…”

“…For example, cyanoacrylate glues were reported in the 1960s' by Webster et al for the repair of corneal perforations. 5 However, these glues have limitations with regard to their ease of application and effectiveness. A number of complications have been reported such as cataract formation, corneal infiltration, granulomatous keratitis, glaucoma, and retinal toxicity.…”

“…Corticosteróide é útil como terapia adjuvante (1,3,6,8,15) . O tratamento cirúrgico é também um importante componente no tratamento de pacientes com destruição da córnea e da esclera associada a doenças auto-imunes (3,5,(16)(17)(18)(19) . Os procedimentos por nós utilizados foram ressecção conjuntival, adesivo de cianoacrilato e transplante lamelar tectônico.…”

“…Entretanto, a experiência publicada na literatura internacional, atesta que a cirurgia isoladamente é incapaz de influenciar o processo imunológico subjacente, e que é insuficiente no tratamento das ceratites ulcerativas periféricas, associadas a doenças auto-imunes (3,5,16) . Ceratoplastia lamelar ou penetrante pode ser indicada em pacientes com ulceração corneal para prevenir perfuração de úlceras muito grandes para uso de tecido adesivo ou para reabilitação visual (3,5,(17)(18)(19) . Entretanto, a ceratoplastia tem um prognóstico ruim nestes casos, por causa da probabilidade de posterior destruição do enxerto pela doença de base, pela formação de defeito epitelial e ulceração estromal, pela ceratoconjuntivite seca, e hipestesia (3,5,(18)(19) .…”
