TitelA series of acute corneal edema and residual subepithelial haze after bilateral selective laser trabeculoplasty.
DoelTo report 3 cases of acute corneal edema and subepithelial haze soon after bilateral selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).
MethodesSLT was performed to treat open-angle glaucoma in 3 female, middle aged patients who subsequently developed stromal haze within 24 to 48 hours after the procedure.
ResultatenThe patients were treated with topical steroids for several weeks. Due to uncontrolled intraocular pressure, one patient underwent a trabeculectomy. The corneal edema resolved. However, all three patients were left with a hyperopic shift as well as changes in corneal astigmatism in the majority of the patients.
ConclusieOccurrence of corneal edema and subepithelial haze after SLT is an extremely rare event. Although certain causes are postulated to play a role in this complication, it is not yet understood what may predispose a patient to corneal changes as a result of this laser procedure.
