June consultation #2

There are not any specific medical and/or surgical treatments including CXL and/or penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) that can confidently claim halting the progression of ectasia over a span of several decades. This patient had LASIK at the age of 25. However, we do not have information concerning the initial attempted correction or know whether femtosecond or microkeratome was used to create the flap. He has already undergone ICRS implantation and CXL. OCT is reflecting a thick flap of 189 μm with thinnest part of the cornea being 423 μm on the pachymetric map.
