Cyclosporine A treatment in four cases with corneal melting syndrome.
Four patients with progressive corneal melting were treated with CsA. In all cases of corneal melting a healing of the ulceration was observed. In one case an accompanying scleral melting responded poorly to this therapy. Hypertension as a side effect was noted in one case. It could be concluded that CsA has a beneficial effect on corneal melting but not on scleral melting.
