Gunderson Flap Surgery is a specialized ocular procedure primarily performed to address severe conditions of the ocular surface, such as non-healing corneal ulcers, persistent epithelial defects, and exposure keratopathy. This surgery involves creating a conjunctival flap (a layer of tissue from the eye’s surface) to cover the damaged corneal area, protecting it and promoting healing. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients whose eyes cannot heal naturally due to an underlying condition.
