Case Report

Results:

In the right eye of a 19 years old girl who underwent riboflavin CXL for progressive keratoconus, seven days after surgery, six, 1×1 mm disciform, tiny, sub epithelial corneal infiltrations surprisingly were visible in mid periphery of the cornea. No AC reaction, conjunctival redness or any inflammatory reactions was visible in the eye and the patient had not any complaint. Contact lens and tear secretions culture was negative. There was not any response to steroid and antibiotics eye drops for several days and weeks, thereby only the patient was under close observation and all medications discontinued, but after several months the infiltrations began to fading and at this time (15 months after surgery) they are disappearing without any sequel. Interestingly the left eye of same patient had been undergone riboflavin CXL before the right eye 17 months ago without any complication. Serial photographs of patient's cornea will be presented in oral presentation.

Conclusion:

Multiple disciform, tiny, sub epithelial corneal infiltrations can be seen after riboflavin CXL that are self-limiting without any intervention and the surgeon should not be worry about them.
