RESULTS: The average age of onset was 48.4 years of age. The ratio of males to females was 1:0. 74. 165 (30%) cases had the disease bilaterally, of which 52 (31.5%) occurred in the young age group and 113 (68.5%) in the old age group. Ulcers of 501 eyes (70.1%) were located at the limbus of the palpebral fissure. The perforation rate was 13.3%, with perforation of 41 eyes (43.2%) occurring in the young age group and 54 (56.8%) in the old age group. Postoperative recurrence rate was 25.6%. The cure rate of the first procedure of LKP plus 1% cyclosporin A eye drops was 73.7%. The final cure rate was 95.6%, and the postoperative preservation rate of the eye globe was 99.7%.
