Abstract

It is well known that jatrogenic ectasia is lower in PRK compared to LASIK. The true incidence of post-LASIK and post-PRK ectasia remains unknown according to Dr Marguerite B McDonald. Corneal ectasia after PRK was reported to start after 3 to 5 years and after LASIK 6 to 18 months. The author reports of a case with corneal ectasia after PRK in both eyes that started after 16 years. Inspite of corneal cross-linking the progression of the ectasia progressed in both eyes.
