Removal of an Intracorneal Hydrogel Implant for Hyperopia After LASIK
View through CrossRef
Purpose:
To report a case of intracorneal hydrogel lens implantation for hyperopia after repeat LASIK surgery.
Methods:
A 34-year-old man underwent intracorneal lens implantation following two LASIK procedures for correction of hyperopia.
Results:
The decentered intracorneal lens was removed due to ocular pain and inflammation, epithelial ingrowth under the corneal flap, and high order aberrations. Pain and inflammation resolved, and corneal stability was regained >6 months after removal of the lens.
Conclusions:
Intracorneal lenses may require explantation if previous laser ablative procedures fail to correct refractive errors. [
