Abstract	Objective To analyse the efficacy of the therapeutic use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the tissue repair process of allogeneic scleral grafts in patients with contracted sockets by analysing the speed of graft vascularisation and fornice depth of contraction percentage. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed from April 2015 to April 2021 including 39patients with socket contraction. Allogeneic scleral grafts were used to repair the sockets in all patients. They were randomly enrolled into two groups. The laser group included 18 patients treated with LLLT after the surgery, whereas the control group included 21 patients without LLLT after the surgery who healed naturally. The LLLT equipment used in the research had a wavelength of 650 nm, 10 mW power, and 3.8 J/cm2 dosimetry, and the procedure was performed once daily for 5 min over 7 days, beginning 1 week postoperatively. All patients were followed up over 6 months to examine the changes in the size of the area of the non-vascularised graft and upper and inferior fornice depth. Results The laser group presented a significantly increased speed of conjunctival vascularisation compared with the control group (P = 0.003). The fornice depth of contraction percentage was more apparent in the control group than that in the laser group (P = 0.000). Conclusion LLLT accelerates conjunctival vascularisation, stimulates conjunctival incision healing within a short period, shortens the tissue repair process, reduces the local inflammatory response, and causes no significant shrinkage of the conjunctival sac.
