We describe the first reported case of a patient developing peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial corneal degeneration (PHSCD) in the setting of previous femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Superficial keratectomy was performed successfully with the complete restoration of the visual acuity, no LASIK flap complications, and no recurrence of PHSCD at 1-year follow-up. Our case indicates that superficial keratectomy can be a safe and effective treatment for PHSCD in the setting of LASIK and raises awareness of the possibility of PHSCD developing in eyes that have undergone prior LASIK.
我们报道了首例在既往接受飞秒激光原位角膜磨镶术(LASIK)后发生周边肥厚性角膜上皮下变性(PHSCD)的患者。成功实施了浅表角膜切除术,视力完全恢复,未出现LASIK瓣相关并发症,且在1年的随访中PHSCD未复发。我们的病例表明,浅表角膜切除术对于LASIK术后发生的PHSCD可能是一种安全有效的治疗方法,并提高了对既往接受LASIK手术的眼睛发生PHSCD可能性的认识。
