Resumen
CAMBAS ANDREU, Arelys Ariocha et al. Therapeutic option for opening of post-keratotomy corneal incisions. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.4, pp. 74-81. ISSN 1561-3070.
ABSTRACT Incisional refractive surgery has shown fluctuating and unpredictable results throughout the years. Hypercorrection and unconventional astigmatism have been observed in a high number of patients. Here are two patients with postsurgical corneal ectasia, who reported progressive worsening of vision. When making the biomicroscopic examination, it was observed that there was an opening at the level of corneal incisions through radial and arcuate ketatotomy. This study showed the refractive results achieved in the correction of this complication by using corneal sutures. It was concluded that this technique leads to satisfactory results that we should evaluate with certainty in the postoperative follow-up of patients.
