title: [Treatment of recurrent corneal erosion by puncture of Bowman's membrane].
abstract: 16 patients (18 eyes) with a recurrent corneal erosion have been treated with anterior stromal punctures. The pain disappeared in 15 patients and remained unchanged for one patient. No recurrence was observed over a 18 months follow-up period (maximum 39 months) and no patient was complaining of glare. The technique is simple, effective, cheap and easily performed without special instrumentation.
