In order to rescue the serious cornea-sclera defect, normal piece of a sclera from the damaged eye was used to serve as a donor material to repair the cornea-sclera defect. Eighteen cases were treated by transplantation of sclera graft with the operation to decompress the intra-ocular tension and to perform an artificial pupil from 1979 to 1994. Because the ocular-store seriously lacks in mostly internal locality, in the 18 cases, laceration of avulsive in 5 cases, severe corneal fistula complicated to other corneal diseases in 8 cases, locolized staphyloma of aornea in 2, laceration of sclera fistula in 1. The resulte were: The repairs were all healed up in an average of 20 days. The tension returned to normal and the vision was improved. The scleral graft was fused with the cornea, and the white area form the graft tended to reduce in size gradually with increase in transparency. There was no sign of iritis and rejection reaction. Follow-up of 3 to 36 months showed that the grafting operation was simple and an easy method, at the same time, once gained effect if would prevent or cure blindness.
