Abstract:
A 46 years old male patient had visited to our Ophthalmology department due to abrupt onset of decreased visual acuity in his left eye. He had taken an operation for correction of high myopic astigmatism on both eyes 23 years ago in Japan by Dr. Sato. His visual acuity was: (R)0.3(0.7 x Sph. + 0.75D. = Cyl. - 5.50D.A10 degrees) (L)0.15(0.2 x Sph. - 2.50D. = Cyl. - 2.25D. A180 degrees). On slit lamp examination. hoth cornea had 3mm. (length) radiated linear scars in a number about 50 resulted from myopic operation. In his left cornea, several small vesicles and mild corneal central opacity were observed. We have diagnosed this symptom as artificial corneal endothelial Dystrophy.
