Corneal neovascularization, which is associated with complications in corneal diseases, can cause lipid deposit, decreasing vision, and graft rejection after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Corneal laser photocoagulation using an argon laser or yellow dye laser for ablation of corneal neovascularization has been described. We performed corneal argon laser photocoagulation (CALP) in two male patients with corneal neovascularization after herpetic keratitis. One PKP was performed after CALP and restored good vision with no rejection of the graft during an 8 month follow-up period. In the other case we observed visual improvement and no recurrence of corneal neovascularization after CALP.
角膜新生血管与角膜疾病的并发症相关，可导致脂质沉积、视力下降以及穿透性角膜移植术（PKP）后的移植物排斥反应。已经描述了使用氩激光或黄色染料激光进行角膜激光光凝以消融角膜新生血管。我们对两名疱疹性角膜炎后角膜新生血管的男性患者进行了角膜氩激光光凝（CALP）。其中一名患者在CALP后接受了PKP，在8个月的随访期内视力恢复良好，移植物无排斥反应。在另一例中，我们观察到CALP后视力改善且角膜新生血管未复发。
