Refractive surgery has been performed under general anesthesia on pediatric and neurobehaviorally challenged adults without reported loss of vision or serious complications. Persistent epithelial defect (PED) is a rare complication of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in the general refractive surgery population. We report a case of PED following PRK under general anesthesia for high myopia in a man with autism and ocular history of juvenile open-angle glaucoma and dry eye syndrome.
屈光手术已在全身麻醉下为儿科和神经行为障碍的成年人进行，没有报告视力丧失或严重并发症。持续性上皮缺损（PED）是普通屈光手术人群中光折射性角膜切削术（PRK）的罕见并发症。我们报告了一例自闭症患者行 PRK 治疗高度近视后发生 PED 的病例，该患者有青光眼和干眼症的眼部病史。
