The conjunctival flap is a treatment of last resort of the (almost) penetrated corneal ulcer, which is to be used only when a keratoplasty is technically impossible. Provided the eye structure and retinal function are preserved, partial visual rehabilitation can possibly be achieved through a PKP after excision of the conjunctival flap, even years after corneal blindness.
