The patient underwent uneventful implantation of the raindrop corneal inlay in the left eye on (b)(6) 2017.The patient had chronic inflammation starting 2 weeks postoperatively that persisted throughout the postoperative period.The inflammation was characterized as grade 3+ central corneal haze, however there was no report of a significant decrease in best corrected distance visual acuity (bcdva) or disabling visual disturbances.The patient was a steroid responder which made treatment of haze nearly impossible and the inlay was explanted on (b)(6) 2017.At last examination one week post explant, the haze had resolved almost completely and bcdva was 20/25.
