AIM: To investigate the effect of gap-filling repair for traumatic corneal coloboma with autogenous Tenon capsule.

METHODS:Totally, 100 cases with corneal coloboma were studied and divided into two groups randomly(each group n=50). Fifty patients were treated with the repairment of autogenous Tenon capsule as treatment group and 50 patients were treated with the conventional therapy as control group.

RESULTS: The effective rate of treatment group(88%)was significantly higher than that of control group(68%)(P<0.05). No complications were found in two groups.

CONCLUSION: Gap-filling repair for traumatic corneal coloboma with autogenous Tenon capsule is an effective and promising treatment option for traumatic corneal coloboma.
