Event Description
|
Patient follow-up was requested from the surgeon, who provided the following additional information.The procedure to implant the corneal inlay in the patient's left eye was uneventful.Corneal haze was first observed at the one-month postoperative visit with recurrences of mild haze at 4 and 5 months postoperatively.Prior to explantation of the corneal inlay, the corneal haze progressed to grade 3+, located in the area of the inlay.The corneal haze was associated with significant halos and glare that impacted the patient's ability to drive.In addition, the patient's best corrected distance visual acuity (bcdva) decreased from 20/20 (preoperatively) to 20/50 (immediately prior to inlay explantation).Post inlay explant, the corneal haze and halo/glare symptoms resolved and bcdva improved to 20/25-2.
