title: [Lamellar graft in the treatment of herpes simplex ocular (author's transl)].
abstract: 72 lamellar grafts for herpes simplex ocular infections have been performed. A retrospective study tries to specify the indications. Penetrating graft is the best for leucomae. The most difficult choice occurs with active herpetic disease. With lamellar grafts good results are obtained in stromal keratitis without deep involvement (visual acuity is 0.2 or more in 75 per cent of cases). When endothelio-uveal involvement, prognosis becomes uncertain in any type of keratoplasty: the authors think that the best method is to perform surgery after a few months of inactive disease.
