The management of special problems associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and ocular pemphigoid.
Various surgical treatment methods were outlined that are currently used in treatment of the severe chronic contractual changes seen in Stevens-Johnson syndrome and ocular pemphigoid. All methods described are not 100% successful in view of the chronicity of the disease, but have greatly aided in delaying the destructive course of action because of various degrees of cicatricial entropion formation. The potential association of ocular pemphigoid with Phospholine Iodide medications in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma is under investigation.
