CASE REPORTS
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Corneal iron ring after conductive keratoplasty.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 2003 August
PURPOSE: To report formation of corneal iron ring deposits after conductive keratoplasty.
DESIGN: Observational case report.
METHODS: Case report.
RESULTS: A 54-year-old woman underwent conductive keratoplasty for hyperopia. One year after conductive keratoplasty, iron ring pattern pigmentation was detected at the corneal epithelium of both eyes.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of the appearance of corneal iron ring deposits following conductive keratoplasty treatment in a patient. It is suggested that alterations in tear film stability, resulting from conductive keratoplasty-induced changes in corneal curvature, constitute the contributory factor for these deposits.
