Central necrotic lamellar inflammation after laser in situ keratomileusis.

Journal of refractive surgery (Thorofare, N.J. : 1995)·2001

Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PCPIOL) implantation can lead to retinal detachment, while laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) after scleral buckling may cause corneal steepening. Prompt intervention is key for visual recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PCPIOL) implantation is a refractive procedure.
  • Scleral buckling is a surgical treatment for retinal detachment.
  • Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a common refractive surgery.

Observation:

  • Retinal detachment occurred in four patients post-PCPIOL implantation.
  • Corneal steepening developed in two patients after LASIK with prior scleral buckling.
  • Vitreoretinal surgery was performed for retinal detachment.
  • Buckle removal was performed for one patient with corneal steepening.

Findings:

  • All retinal detachments were successfully treated, achieving retinal attachment.

  • Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved to 20/30 post-treatment.
  • One patient experienced a one-line decrease in BCVA.
  • Partial corneal flattening was achieved after buckle removal in one case.

    • Implications:

    • PCPIOL implantation may be associated with vitreous base stimulation, potentially causing retinal complications.
    • LASIK in patients with previous scleral buckles carries a risk of unexpected corneal steepening.
    • Understanding these risks is crucial for patient selection and surgical planning.
