Airbag induced corneal ectasia.
PURPOSE To report a case of airbag induced corneal ectasia. METHODS Case report. RESULTS A patient 3 years post-LASIK developed bilateral corneal ectasia worse in the right eye following airbag deployment in a road traffic accident. At last follow up, best corrected vision was 20/40 with -4.00/-4.00 x 25 in the right eye and 20/25 with -1.25/-0.50 x 135 in the left eye. CONCLUSIONS This i...
متن کاملCorneal ectasia after photorefractive keratectomy.
Two patients developed corneal ectasia after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Case 1 had evidence of early keratoconus preoperatively, with manifest refractions of -4.00 +2.50 x 160 (20/20) in the right eye and -7.00 +3.00 x 180 (20/30) in the left eye; thin corneas (472 microm and 441 microm, respectively); and inferior paracentral steepening in the right eye and central steepening in the le...
متن کاملCorneal Ectasia: prevention and management
Francois Malecaze MD commenced the session with an update on current research into the genetics of keratoconus. Dr Malecaze noted that forme fruste keratoconus is one of the major causes of post-LASIK corneal ectasia and the condition may be due to genetic factors in the majority of cases. Identification of the gene or genes responsible for keratoconus might lead to the development of blood tes...
متن کاملEvaluation of the risk of corneal ectasia
Objective: LASIK is associated with a severe complication known as corneal ectasia. A direct evaluation of the biomechanical corneal property may be performed to select patients for excimer laser surgery. Methods: Detection of the biomechanical corneal properties was performed using a specific device known to produce short intraocular pressure elevation (IOP) at approximately 20 mm Hg. The corn...
متن کاملRisk Factors in Post-LASIK Corneal Ectasia
Purpose. To evaluate the risk factors for post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia. Materials and Methods. Medical records of 42 eyes of 28 (10 women, 18 men) patients who developed corneal ectasia after LASIK were retrospectively reviewed. Topographical features and surgical parameters of those patients were evaluated. Results. The mean age of patients was 34.73 ± 6.50 (23-48) years a...
