Abstract

Purpose : To observe the clinical effect of rigid gas permeable contact lens(RGP)for correction of corneal ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK).

Methods : We observed 9 eyes of 6 patients(29 to 43 years old) with corneal ectasia after LASIK.Outcomes included postoperative best spectacle-corrected visual acuity(BSCVA), best corrected visual actuity with RGP(BCVA),mean corneal curvature,refraction, base curve of RGP fitting.

Results : One patient had worn RGP lens in the past time,but another five patients never wore it.The mean curvature was within 41.5 to 56D,myopia was within -0.5 to 23D,and the astigmatism was within -0.87 to -6.87D. BSCVA was within 0.1 to 0.6(mean=0.32±0.34), The base curve of lens was 6.3 to 7.8mm,and the diameter was with in 8.5 to 9.6mm.The prescription of RGP lens ranged between -2.5 to -24.5D.BCVA with RGP raised substantially and ranged between 0.4 to 1.0(mean= 0.76±0.42).All patients had adaption period about 1 week at the beginning of wearing RGP lens. During the observation period of 6 months,the patients had good fit, except one patient lost monocular lens.There were no obvious corneal scar, infection, neovascularization and other serious complications.

Conclusions : Corneal ectasia is the most serious hidden complication after LASIK.RGP lens is the main treatment measure if only it is well matched and the satisfactory results can be obtained.
