The purpose of this study was to report a new technique of microkeratome-assisted corneal tattooing for cosmetic improvement in a young female patient with adherent leucoma.
The para-axial adherent leucoma had resulted from penetrating corneal injury sustained at the age of 2 years. A nasal hinged partial corneal flap of 140 μm thickness was raised using the microkeratome. The flap extended to just beyond the medial margin of the leucoma. Organic dye powder was spread on the stromal bed over the leucomatous scar as well as on the undersurface of the corneal flap corresponding to the area of opacity. The flap was then repositioned and a bandage contact lens placed.
The staining dye powder completely concealed the leucomatous opacity with good cosmesis and patient satisfaction. Corneal topography and best-corrected visual acuity remained unchanged at last follow up of 9 months.
Microkeratome-assisted corneal tattooing appears to be a safe, effective, and precise method of corneal tattooing.
本研究旨在报告一种新的微角膜刀辅助角膜纹身技术，用于改善一位年轻女性粘连性白斑患者的美容效果。
这位患者在 2 岁时因穿透性角膜损伤导致周边粘连性白斑。使用微角膜刀抬起 140μm 厚的鼻侧半角膜瓣。该瓣延伸至白斑的内侧边缘之外。将有机染料粉末涂在基质床上的白斑瘢痕上，以及对应混浊区域的角膜瓣的下表面。然后重新定位瓣并放置绷带接触镜。
染色染料粉末完全掩盖了白斑混浊，具有良好的美容效果和患者满意度。角膜地形图和最佳矫正视力在 9 个月的最后随访时保持不变。
微角膜刀辅助角膜纹身似乎是一种安全、有效且精确的角膜纹身方法。
