Operations for Symblepharon.—If in spite of these precautions asymblepharon forms, after all inflammatory symptoms have subsided^an attempt must be made to remedy the condition. Unfortunately, theresults are often most unsatisfactory. In general terms, the adhesionsshould be divided, and the raw surfaces left after they are severed coveredwith flaps of healthy conjunctiva taken from the unaffected parts of theeyeball. This is Teales method (Fig. 465). Occasionally the symble-pharon can be dissected back to the retrotarsal fold and doubled uponitself, so as to oppose a mucous
