Anterior stromal puncture for recurrent corneal erosion after laser in situ keratomileusis.
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery 2004 Februrary
A 55-year-old woman had bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). An epithelial defect was observed in the left eye after the flap was cut. Postoperatively, the patient developed recurrent corneal erosion in the left eye related to the traumatic epithelial defect sustained during LASIK. The erosion led to secondary diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK). Anterior stromal puncture was required to treat the erosion after conventional treatment failed. The secondary DLK resolved quickly after the erosion healed, without the need for topical corticosteroids. Anterior stromal puncture may be a useful treatment for recurrent corneal erosions that do not respond to conventional therapy.
