Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of Central Toxic Keratopathy. Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging : the official journal of the International Society for Imaging in the Eye Liu, A., Manche, E. E. 2010: 1-3

Abstract

The authors report anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging findings in a case of central toxic keratopathy following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery for low hyperopia. OCT imaging 1 month after surgery demonstrates that the flap thickness is maintained and the location of stromal tissue loss is just posterior to the flap in the stromal bed in the affected area. This corresponds to the clinical observation of interface opacity extending posteriorly into the stroma as first described by Sonmez and Maloney1 in their initial description of the syndrome. Follow-up OCT imaging 3 months later revealed interval decrease in stromal thinning. The etiology of this syndrome is unknown.
