Purpose:
|
To report a distinct clinical syndrome, central toxic keratopathy, as a cause of early postoperative corneal opacity.
|
|
Methods:
|
12 eyes from 6 patients who presented with decreased vision 3 to 9 days postoperatively accompanied by central corneal opacity, corneal melting and hyperopic shift are presented. They underwent PRK (3 patients), LASEK (1patient) and Epi-LASIK (2 patients); and mitomycin C (0.02% dilution) had been applied for all of them.
|
|
Results:
|
The opacification persisted for a minimum of two months to a maximum of 6 months before clearing. 1-2 line loss of BCVA persisted in two patients after 6 months.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
In central toxic keratopathy despite the clearance of opacity in most of cases, an irreversible complication might remain in few patients.
