To emphasize the effectiveness of phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) in a patient with Schnyder crystalline corneal dystrophy (SCCD).
Case report.
Two eyes of a patient with SCCD underwent PTK. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) increased from 2/10 to 8/10 (plano/-1.50 x 10) in the right eye in a lit room. BCVA of the left eye was 4/10 (-8.00/-1.50 x 170) and did not change after treatment because of anisometropic amblyopia. No recurrence was detected after 68 months of follow-up.
PTK may be effective in the treatment of SCCD, especially if the crystals are the cause of visual disturbance.
强调光治疗性角膜切削术(PTK)治疗施奈德结晶状角膜营养不良(SCCD)患者的有效性。
病例报告。
一名SCCD患者的两只眼睛接受了PTK治疗。在明亮房间里,右眼的最佳矫正视力(BCVA)从2/10提高到了8/10(平光/-1.50×10)。左眼的BCVA为4/10(-8.00/-1.50×170),由于屈光参差性弱视,治疗后未发生变化。随访68个月未发现复发。
PTK可能对SCCD治疗有效,尤其是当晶状体是视力障碍的原因时。
