The patient presents with sudden onset decrease in vision, photophobia, and pain.

متن کاملAcute corneal hydrops during pregnancy with spontaneous resolution after corneal cross-linking for keratoconus: a case report
BACKGROUND Keratoconus may progress to acute corneal hydrops even after cross-linking. In some cases, keratoconus progresses during pregnancy. In this report, we present a case of a patient with increased anterior stromal resistance after cross-linking that would favor nonprogression of keratoconus during pregnancy. CASE PRESENTATION We report that cross-linking is likely to have had a protec...
