Management of corneal haze and edema post-PRK

Introduction:To present the potential use of serum tears, corneal crosslinking, and phototherapeutic keratectomy in the management of corneal haze and edema post-photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).Patient and Clinical Findings:A patient who underwent PRK and subsequently developed corneal haze and edema was treated using conservative management to achieve moderate improvement.Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcomes:The combination of serum tears, corneal crosslinking, and phototherapeutic keratectomy was used to treat corneal haze and edema, helping the patient achieve an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 in the last follow-up.Conclusions:The use of serum tears, corneal crosslinking, and phototherapeutic keratectomy may provide an additional therapeutic option in the treatment of corneal haze and edema that develops post-PRK.
