Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: To present a case of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with adjunctive topical mitomycin C (MMC) in an anisometropic hyperopic patient after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for keratoconus.
METHODS: Interventional case report, chart review, and literature review.
RESULTS: A 43-year-old man with a refraction of +7.00 -4.75 x 125 in the right eye underwent PRK 10 months after PKP for keratoconus. The patient had sutures removed for 3 months and was intolerant of contact lenses. After photoablation, 0.02% MMC was applied to the corneal stromal bed. The patient was followed up daily until the epithelium closed and at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively.
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this represents the first reported case of the use of MMC to prevent postoperative haze after PRK for PKP in an eye with keratoconus. MMC (0.02%) applied topically to the cornea immediately after PRK is safe and effective to treat a hyperopic refractive error after PKP and prevent postoperative corneal haze formation without the risks of performing a lamellar flap into an ectatic corneal bed.
