Conjunctival hood/gunderson’s flap is a technique which is used in the treatment of painful blind eyes. The technique utilises the conjunctival tissue (which is available in abundance), as a blanket over the exposed corneal nerve fibres, thereby inhibiting the pain response. The procedure, if performed well, offers consistent and long term pain relief with acceptable cosmesis, without the need for any further touch ups or adjuvants. Patients wishing for perfect cosmesis can very safely fit an acrylic shell over the flap, without having to worry about the risk of irritation, inflammation or infection.
