Ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid: diagnosis and management strategies
Ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid presents some of the most challenging dilemmas in
anterior segment management. Diagnosis is made difficult by the insensitivity of
immunopathological investigations and the differential diagnosis of other scarring
conjunctival disorders. The management of the associated ocular surface disease involves
control of blepharitis, dry eye, filamentary keratitis, keratinization, lid malposition, and
persistent epithelial defect, as well as the identification and avoidance of toxicity …
