Zusammenfassung
Ziel der Vernetzungsbehandlung ist die Verhinderung einer Progression des Keratokonus und die Stabilisierung des jetzigen Refraktionszustands. Bei einem 41-jährigen Patienten mit Keratokonus erfolgte eine einseitige kombinierte Riboflavin/UVA-Therapie. Postoperativ zeigte sich eine diffuse subepitheliale Trübung mit Anzeichen einer stromalen Verdünnung mittelperipher nasal unten. Diese oberflächliche Narbenbildung im Sinne eines „haze“ verschwand trotz intensiver Therapie nur zögerlich.
Abstract
The aim of cross-linking therapy is to prevent keratoconus progression and stabilize the present refractive situation. A 41-year-old man was treated with collagen cross-linking in one eye. Postoperatively there were a diffuse subepithelial opacification and a paracentral corneal thinning. This superficial scarring in the sense of a “haze” disappeared only gradually despite intensive therapy.
