Abstract | Purpose: To report morphologic and functional changes after topography-guided trans-epithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) combined with phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) for recalcitrant recurrent corneal erosions in Lattice Corneal Dystrophy (LCD). Methods: One case report. Results: A 78-year-old man presented us with decreased visual acuity [20/100 in right eye (RE), and 20/400 in left eye (LE)], and redness with foreign body sensation in both eyes. Clinical examination revealed epithelial erosions, and linear stromal opacities involving the center of the cornea in both eyes, supporting the diagnosis of LCD. Several medical approaches including autologous serum, amniotic membrane extract, and nerve growth factor eye drops allowed a temporary improvement in symptoms. A single-step topography-guided trans-epithelial PRK combined with PTK (CIPTA Conclusion: Recalcitrant corneal erosions and stromal opacities in LCD may be successfully treated using combined topography-guided trans-epithelial PRK and PTK. |
