We describe the association of rapid progression of keratoconus in a 49-year-old woman on selective tissue estrogenic activity regulator (STEAR) therapy for endometriosis. Approximately 4 months after initiation of therapy with STEAR therapy and 3 months after ovariectomy, Scheimpflug images showed a massive increase in the previously stable ectasia. During this period, the maximum increase in the keratometry values was 2.7 diopters (D) in the right eye and 3.8 D in the left eye. Corneal crosslinking (CXL) was performed in both eyes. This resulted in excessive flattening of 5.5 D in the right eye and 6.1 D in the left eye at 9 months postoperatively. Patients having STEAR therapy must be monitored closely for corneal changes.
我们描述了一名 49 岁女性在使用选择性组织雌激素活性调节剂(STEAR)治疗子宫内膜异位症期间,角膜环曲病迅速进展的情况。在开始使用 STEAR 治疗大约 4 个月后和卵巢切除术 3 个月后,Scheimpflug 图像显示先前稳定的扩张明显增加。在此期间,右眼的角膜曲率值最大增加了 2.7 屈光度(D),左眼增加了 3.8 D。双眼均进行了角膜交联(CXL)。术后 9 个月,右眼的角膜压平量达到 5.5 D,左眼达到 6.1 D。使用 STEAR 治疗的患者必须密切监测角膜变化。
