Abstract
Background: Scarring may follow refractive surgery, causing irregular astigmatism and loss of visual acuity.
Methods: A case report of scarring and irregular astigmatism occurring in a corneal transplant following photorefractive keratectomy and arcuate incisions is presented.
Results: Following surgical excision of the scar, unaided visual acuity improved from 1/60 to 6/12. Histopathology of the excised scar was obtained.
Conclusions: Refractive surgery following corneal transplantation may produce scarring. The origin of the scar in the present case has not been established.
