Abstract
- We report a case of transient corneal ectasia developed after phacoemulsification in an eye previously treated with INTRACOR. There was a myopic refractive surprise after cataract surgery. Corneal tomography showed an increase in keratometry and elevation profile compared with preoperative examination. Soft contact lenses and intraocular pressure-lowering medications were prescribed as interim treatment. Clinical improvement was seen gradually, and the resolution of myopia and ectasia was achieved at 3 months. We believe that high intraocular pressure during phacoemulsification and the weakening effect of femtosecond intrastromal presbyopic treatment can be the culprits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
