Bilateral Keratectasia 34 Years after Corneal Transplant
We report the clinical findings of a patient with severe bilateral keratectasia 34 years after a penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in both eyes. An otherwise healthy 67-year-old man complained of deterioration of the eyesight in both eyes over the last 6 months. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral keratoconus at the age of 32 years, and he underwent a bilateral PK. At presentation, visual acui...
متن کاملCorneal collagen crosslinking in post-LASIK keratectasia.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate the effect of corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin and UV-A as a treatment option for postlaser in situ keratomileusis keratectasia. METHODS Crosslinking was carried out in 22 eyes of 15 patients with iatrogenic keratectasia. Follow-up, according to a standardised protocol (uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp ex...

An association between the ingestion of acute alcohol and onset of cardiac arrhythmias was first reported in the ea...
متن کاملCorneal Collagen Crosslinking for Keratectasia after Laser in situ Keratomileusis: A Review of the Literature
Corneal ectasia is a serious vision-threatening complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). It is associated with progressive corneal steepening, an increase in myopia and astigmatism, and decrease in uncorrected visual acuity. Before LASIK presence of risk factors (corneal thickness, refractive error, presence of clinical and subclinical corneal pathologies) should be studied so pati...
متن کاملHigher-order aberrations of anterior and posterior corneal surfaces in patients with keratectasia after LASIK.
PURPOSE We investigated higher-order aberrations (HOAs) of the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces in patients with keratectasia after LASIK. METHODS The subjects comprised four groups: 12 eyes with keratectasia after LASIK, 30 eyes following LASIK without keratectasia, 30 keratoconic eyes, and 30 normal eyes. Corneal HOAs due to the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces for 6-mm pupils...
