Abstract

In this case report, we aimed to present a case of transient corneal edema limited to lasik fl ap, which occurs after phacoemulsifi cation surgery without any complication. A 57-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with a complaint of low vision in the left eye. We learned that, he underwent lasik surgery six years ago with femtosecond from both eyes for +2,25 diopter hypermetropia. At the biomic- roscopic examination of the patient, grade 3 nuclear cataract was present in the left eye and visual acuity was 0,3 with the snellen chart. Phacoemulsifi cation surgery and intraocular lens implantation were applied to the left eye of the patient. There were no complications during surgery. On the 1st day postoperatively, the patient's visual acuity was found 0.3 with snellen chart because of limited edema of lasik fl ap. The anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) we performed had fl ap-limited edema but no fl uid was present at the interface. In the second week of follow-up of the patient, corneal edema disappeared completely, and the patient's vision reached 1,0 with snellen chart. The fl ap created in lasik has biomechanically different properties from the normal cornea. This is a case report showing that the lasik fl ap has different hydraulic behaviors compared to the stromal bed and the remaining corneal tissue.

Özet

Bu olgumuzda komplikasyonsuz fakoemülsifi kasyon cerrahisi sonrasında korneada gelişen lasik fl ebi ile sınırlı geçici kornea ödemini sunmayı amaçladık. 57 yaşında erkek hasta kliniğimize sol gözde az görme şikayeti ile başvurdu. Hikayesinden 6 yıl önce +2,25 dioptri hipermetropi için her iki gözden femtosaniye lasik cerrahisi geçirdiği öğrenildi. Hastanın yapılan biyomikroskopik muayenesinde sol gözünde evre 3 nükleer katarakt mevcuttu ve görmesi Snellen eşeli ile 0,3 idi. Hastanın sol gözüne fakoemülsifi kasyon cerrahisi ve göz içi lens implantasyonu uygulandı. Cerrahi sırasında hiçbir komplikasyon yaşanmadı. Cerrahi sonrası 1. gün yapılan muayenede lasik fl ebi ile sınırlı kornea ödemi nedeniyle hastanın görmesi Snellen eşeli ile 0,3 olarak bulundu. Yaptığımız ön segment optik kohorens to- mografi de(OKT) fl ep ile sınırlı ödem mevcuttu ancak ara yüzde sıvı mevcut değildi. Hastanın takiplerinde ikinci haftada kornea ödemi tamamen kayboldu ve hastanın görmesi tama ulaştı. Lasik’te oluşturulan fl ep normal korneadan biyomekanik olarak farklı özelliklere sahiptir. Bu vaka, lasik fl ebinin, stroma yatağı ve geri kalan kornea dokusuna kıyasla farklı hidrolik davranışları olduğunu gösteren bir vaka sunumudur.
