영문 초록

Purpose: To report a patient who underwent successful cataract surgery without wound dehiscence in the eye that had undergone previous radial keratotomy by performing a clear corneal incision between previous incisions. Case summary: A 59-year-old female visited our medical center for decreased vision. The patient underwent radial keratotomy for correction of myopia in both eyes 11 years prior. On slit-lamp examination, cataract and eight radial keratotomy incisions were found. Phacoemulsification and posterior capsule intraocular lens implantation were performed for both eyes at a one-week interval. For the right eye, a clear corneal incision was made over the previous incision scar and wound dehiscence was successfully managed by prompt corneal suturing. For the left eye, a clear corneal incision was made between the previous incision scars, and wound dehiscence did not occur. Conclusions: As radial keratotomy patients age, cataract surgery should be considered. A successful surgery was possible without wound dehiscence in an eye that had undergone previous radial keratotomy in which a clear corneal incision was made between previous incision scars.
