[Corneal melt after intracorneal ring segment implantations: a case report]
1Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, Beijing Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, Beijing 100730, China.
Summary
Corneal melting after intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation resolved with ring removal and deep lamellar keratoplasty. The patient experienced no discomfort, and the corneal graft remained transparent post-surgery.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Corneal Surgery
- Vision Science
Background:
- Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) are used to correct refractive errors.
- Late complications following ICRS implantation, such as corneal melting, can occur.
- Corneal melting presents a significant risk to vision and ocular integrity.
