Clinical course and outcomes in patients with Mooren ulcer who had cataract surgery

With adequate immunosuppression, cataract surgery in eyes with Mooren ulcer was safe and CDVA improved significantly with no disease reactivation immediately after surgery. No proven role of maintenance immunosuppression was observed. The type of cataract surgery had no influence on ulcer reactivation. Patients with a disease-free interval of 6 months or more before surgery and those who had scleral incisions had favorable outcomes.
