Filamentary Keratitis Following Cataract Extraction

Filamentary Keratitis and Sjogren's Syndrome: Pathogenesis, Clinical Features, and Screening Implications

“…A similar study from Hangzhou, China, also involving 116 patients by Zhang et al (2016), confirmed the multifactorial nature of FK with similar distributions: dry eye disease (43.1%), post-ocular surgery [23,24] (19.0%), exposure keratopathy (10.3%), and SS was identified in 6.9% of cases [15]. Notably, the Chinese cohort showed a higher proportion of post-surgical cases, possibly reflecting differences in surgical volumes or diagnostic practices.…”

Ocular Surface Complications after Trabeculectomy: Incidence, Risk Factors, Time Course and Prognosis

“…The blebs in limbal-based trabeculectomy tend to be high due to their limited area of aqueous humor drainage compared to those in fornix-based incisions [13], which may explain the discrepancy. Filamentary keratitis has been reported after cataract extraction [14,15], strabismus surgery [16] and penetrating keratoplasty [8,17], but to the best of our knowledge it has never been previously reported after trabeculectomy. This study shows, however, that filamentary keratitis is not a rare complication after trabeculectomy.…”

Superficial Keratitis

“…Filaments may form after cataract operation, irrespective of the surgical technique, suture material or the use of chymotrypsin (Menezo et ai., 1975;Dodds and Laibson, 1972).
