Abstract

We report the case of a 23-year-old male who was referred to our clinic for a routine follow-up examination. The patient was treated for keratoconus 3 years ago in Colombia, where intracorneal ring segments were implanted mechanically in both eyes to improve his visual acuity. Surprisingly, we discovered a pre-descemetic placement of intracorneal ring segments, which could lead to potential complications, under circumstances. We illustrate this impressive finding with slit-lamp photography and high-resolution anterior segment OCT and advocate for the use of femtosecond laser as the method of choice for intracorneal ring segment insertion in order to provide maximal precision and safety.
