The patient underwent implantation of the raindrop corneal inlay in the left eye on (b)(6) 2017.It should be noted that lasik surgery was performed on this eye concurrent with inlay implantation.On (b)(6) 2017, the patient presented with slight central and superior corneal haze in the operative eye and topical steroids were prescribed.The patient was examined on (b)(6) 2017 at which time his best corrected distance visual acuity (bcdva) decreased from 20/20 (preoperatively) to 20/70-; topical steroids were continued to treat the corneal haze.At last examination on (b)(6) 2018, the corneal haze resolved, bcdva improved to 20/25-2, and the inlay remained implanted.The surgeon believes that concurrent lasik may be a contributing factor.
