This study reports the surgical technique of modified medial tarsorrhaphy using tarsoconjunctival advancement flap for treatment of exposure keratitis secondary to incomplete lid closure combined with ocular dysmotility or decreased corneal sensation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment: This is essentially identical to treatment of exposure keratitis. It includes moistening the cornea, antibiotic protection as prophylaxis against infection, and, if conservative methods are unsuccessful, tarsorrhaphy.[alpfmedical.info]
Treatment of cause of exposure: If possible cause of exposure (proptosis, ectropion, etc) should be treated. 2. Treatment of corneal ulcer is on the general lines 3.[ophthalmologylife.blogspot.com]
In all cases, corneal exposure, hypesthesia, and treatment with topical corticosteroids caused the perforation. Corneal perforation can occur without zoster keratouveitis.[link.springer.com]
What's the Treatment? Your doctor may suggest: Drops or ointments. These keep your eyes moist, which eases the problem. You might need to use artificial (fake) tears several times a day. The doctor might give you an ointment or gel to use at night.[webmd.com]

Prognosis Mild EK has an excellent prognosis, with most if not all patients making a full recovery if the cornea remains intact without erosion, ulceration, or microbial infection. [18] Severe cases can lead to scarring, perforation and permanent vision[eyewiki.aao.org]
Prognosis Some infections may scar the cornea to limit vision. Others may result in perforation of the cornea, (an infection inside the eye), or even loss of the eye.[ipfs.io]
