The aim of the study is to report on three-year efficacy and safety of ADCE for RCE of traumatic etiology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent ADCE for traumatic RCE in a local hospital between January 2010 and January 2020. The outcomes at a 3-year follow-up review are included. Nonsurgical therapy used; intra- and postoperative complications were recorded. ADCE was only offered to those who remained symptomatic despite maximum topical lubrications and\/or extended wear contact lens. Success was defined as the absence of recurrence of corneal erosion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-six eyes of 26 patients with RCE caused by trauma underwent ADCE. The mean age of patients was 39 years. The follow-up period was a minimum of 36 months. Three eyes (11.5%) had recurrence of corneal erosion after ADCE at the 3-year follow-up. Recurrence was noted at months 2, 23, and 36 postoperatively in these patients. All patients reported significant improvement in symptoms associated with recurrent erosion. Ten eyes (38.5%) stopped all topical lubricants postoperatively. No intra- or postoperative complications were noted in our study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n
