Keratopathy Following Retinal Detachment Surgery

Bilateral Recurrent Calcareous Degeneration of the Cornea

“…It has been described in patients with persistent epithelial defects, severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca, alkali burns, and necrotizing intraocular tumors; following ocular trauma; and in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. 3,4,6,[12][13][14][15] Corneal calcification was reported after topical steroid-phosphate therapy 5,16 and intracameral chondroitin sulfate use. 17,18 Our patient had severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca and persistent corneal epithelial defects associated with GVHD after bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia.…”

Pachometry before and after vitrectomy with silicone oil injection

“…post detachment corneal decompensation is also reported in eyes with no silicone oil injection (Brodrick 1978).…”

Late Onset Interface Calcium Deposition After Laser In Situ Keratomileusis

“…Although we are not able to determine the mechanism through which calcium deposited in the LASIK flap interface in the cases that we report, it is likely through one of the previously described mechanisms by which calcium deposits on the cornea. Superficial calcific corneal deposition has been associated with a variety of etiologies, including ocular surface inflammation, the use of various topical and intracameral medications, [6][7][8] ocular injury, 9 corneal, 10,11 or other ocular surgeries, 12,13 and systemic diseases affecting calcium metabolism. [14][15][16] In these settings, calcium deposition may occur because of an increase in the local concentration of calcium or phosphorus, an increase in pH, or an alteration in tear osmolality.…”
