ABSTRACT
A 24-year-old male was treated with transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy for myopia in both eyes 5 years ago. He had allergic conjunctivitis for 3 years. The night vision of both eyes was decreased for 2 years. The clinical diagnosis was keratoconus binoculus. Therefore, corneal collagen cross-linking was performed in both eyes, and the follow-up was 6 months. Confocal microscopy showed that the cross-linking of riboflavin and fiber amino was successful, and the keratoconus did not progress during the follow-up. Although there have been few case reports of keratoconus after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy at home and abroad, great importance should be attached to the early and comprehensive screening of keratoconus in the candidates of refractive surgery in order to improve the long-term safety.
