Adverse corneal events associated with corneal reshaping: a case series.
Eye & Contact Lens 2004 October
PURPOSE: This case series presents the first documented cases of infectious ulcers associated with overnight orthokeratology in North America and other less serious complications associated with overnight corneal reshaping.
CASE REPORTS: Five cases of adverse corneal events associated with corneal refractive therapy are described: two cases of microbial keratitis, one case of infiltrates, one case of toxic keratitis, and one corneal abrasion.
CONCLUSIONS: Corneal compromise and poor compliance can cause adverse events with corneal reshaping. The need for ongoing patient education is important not only for pediatric contact lens patients, but also for adults.
