360-Degree Iris Burns Following Conductive Keratoplasty
Purpose:
The authors report a case with multiple iris burns after conductive keratoplasty to correct hyperopia.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
A 52-year-old woman with hyperopia had a previous conductive keratoplasty procedure and underwent a conductive keratoplasty re-treatment 6 months later. Postoperatively, she presented with 360-degree iris burns in both eyes that were correlated with the corneal conductive keratoplasty scars. In addition, specular microscopy revealed decreased endothelial cell density for both eyes.
Conclusions:
This is the first reported case of iris burns associated with conductive keratoplasty. [J Refract Surg. 2016;32(11):776-778.].
