The patient was diagnosed with post FS-LASIK EBMD by siltlamp examination and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). Initial treatment with topical lubricants and alcohol soaking were unsuccessful, and the patient continued to have blurred vision and discomfort. The patient had a PRK procedure and the symptoms resolved dramatically; residual refractive errors were also corrected. IVCM revealed a characteristic presentation of EBMD before PRK and normal corneal epithelium after treatment. Patients with asymptomatic EBMD might suffer from recurrent corneal erosions after FS-LASIK. Surface ablation including PRK might lead to successful treatment outcomes, and IVCM might provide helpful information before and after treatment. |
