ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of infectious keratitis after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) treated with collagen cross-linking with photoactivated riboflavin (PACK-CXL).METHODS:
Case report and literature review.RESULTS:
A patient presented with culture-proven bacterial keratitis 5 days after SMILE was treated with fortified topical antibiotics and PACK-CXL. Irrigation of the corneal cap-stromal bed interface, which can be difficult and affect visual outcomes, was not performed. Clinical improvement was seen shortly after treatment and resolution of keratitis was achieved at 2 weeks.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first reported use of PACK-CXL in the management of infectious keratitis after SMILE. PACK-CXL may help sterilize the infection and limit its spread within the interface. [J Refract Surg. 2017;33(4)278-280.].
