IBARZ BARBERA, M.; GARCIA GONZALEZ, M. e TEUS GUEZALA, M.. Transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy to treat chronic laser in situ keratomileusis-flap macrostriae: A case review. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.87, n.12, pp.407-410. ISSN 0365-6691. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.oftal.2011.09.013.
Objective: To describe the use of transepithelial phototherapeutic keratecomy for the long-term treatment of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap macrostriae. Method: We present the case of a 22 year old male with visual loss in the left eye due to chronic flap macrostriae that was treated with transepithelial PTK. Results: Striae and haze were no longer visible, with a significant improvement of best corrected visual acuity. Refraction in the third month was +9.75-4.00×170o. A phakic intraocular lens was implanted one year later with an uncorrected visual acuity of 0.8. Conclusions: PTK can solve chronic flap striae, but refraction outcome is unpredictable.
