Collagen Corneal Cross-Linking followed by Intac Implantation in a Case of Post-PRK Ectasia

Abstract

ABSTRACT Collagen corneal cross-linking (CXL) has proved to be effective in halting the progression of keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia. Post-photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) ectasia, a rare PRK complication, has been reported in only a few cases, although PRK is the oldest form of laser refractive surgery. CXL for post- PRK ectasia has not been reported yet. Here is a case of a 22-year-old male who developed post- PRK ectasia more than 1 year after the procedure and was treated using CXL. A few months after CXL, an Intac (Addition Technology) was implanted due to contact lens intolerance.
