Peripheral sterile corneal infiltrate in two brothers after photorefractive keratectomy.
This is a report of two brothers who underwent bilateral photorefractive keratectomy and developed bilateral peripheral corneal infiltrate on the third day following surgery. The patients were treated with antibiotics and low concentration steroid until negative culture was reported 48 h later, when intensive topical steroid was started. The infiltrate resolved by day 10 with residual subepithe...
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 Regeneration After Photorefractive Keratectomy: A Review.
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) remodels corneal stroma to compensate refractive errors. The removal of epithelium and the ablation of stroma provoke the disruption of corneal nerves and a release of several peptides from tears, epithelium, stroma and nerves. A myriad of cytokines, growth factors, and matrix metalloproteases participate in the process of corneal wound healing. Their balance w...
متن کاملManagement of pellucid marginal corneal degeneration with simultaneous customized photorefractive keratectomy and collagen crosslinking.
A 34-year-old woman had simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy and corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin-ultraviolet-A irradiation for the treatment of progressive pellucid marginal corneal degeneration in both eyes. No intraoperative or early postoperative complications occurred. Twelve months postoperatively, the uncorrected visual acuity was assessed at 20/40 in both eyes compared ...
متن کاملPeripheral sterile corneal infiltrates and melting after collagen crosslinking for keratoconus.
Corneal collagen crosslinking (CCC)with riboflavin/ ultraviolet-A (UV-A) is a new therapeutic technique designed to strengthen the cornea and arrest progressive corneal ectasia. Few complications have been reported following this therapy. We report the case of a 40-year-old patient who had CCC for progressive keratectasia secondary to keratoconus. The patient had no medical history of systemic ...
