Intrastromal crosslinking in post-LASIK ectasia

"Crosslinking" intraestromal em ectasia pós-LASIK

We describe a case of early post-LASIK ectasia detected in the first 6 months after surgery. The patient was treated by means of intrastromal corneal crosslinking under the flap, without de-epithelialization, which resulted in a positive outcome. At the time of writing, 2 years after the procedure, the patient remained free of progression.
