Iatrogenic Keratectasia after Refractive Surgery – Causes, Prophylaxis, Therapy

“…Lenticule implantation strengthens the corneal architecture by restoring pachymetry to near-normal values, thereby flattening the corneal curvature in patients with keratectasia and allowing for CXL or contact lens fitting and, thus, also potentially reducing the effects of ectasia progression. Although the idea of intrastromal keratophakia dates back to JI Barraquer [114], the introduction of SMILE surgery by Sekundo and Blum [115] with readily available and precisely cut intrastromal lenticules gave this type of corneal surgery some new momentum. The first human treatment of this type was reported in 2013 and was published by Pradhan et al Lenticule implantation was performed to correct hyperopia in an amblyopic eye with a healthy cornea.…”
