Pressure-Induced Stromal Keratopathy (PISK) and Corneal Scarring After Infectious Keratitis
A patient presented with eye pain and decreased vision in the left eye after having LASIK in both eyes. She was found to have an interface infectious keratitis that required re-lifting of the LASIK flap twice over several months treated with topical antibiotics and steroids. Eventually she developed decreased vision and was found to have PISK and central corneal scarring. Her steroids were tapered off and she was started on topical glaucoma medication with improvement of the interface fluid. She was also started on topical losartan for the corneal scarring which improved as well. We will discuss post-LASIK interface complications, and their management. We will also discuss the emerging use of topical losartan for corneal scarring.
