8  Corneal ectasia

8.1   Case 1: Ectasia after radial keratotomy  

by Prof. Renato Ambrósio Jr

A 28-year-old male patient had RK (radial keratotomy) in 1995 for myopic astigmatism followed 
by RK enhancement three years later in OS. Corneal topography was not performed prior to surgery 
according to patient information. Uncorrected vision acuity was 20/30 in OD and 20/200 in OS. 
Patient refers severe glare and starburst all day, mainly at night.

OS:    sph -5.00 cyl -2.25 A 39°    VA 20/30 

The Pentacam® 4 Maps Refractive map (revealed corneal ectasia in both eyes, with a more advanced 
condition in OS 

(Figure 31)

. In OD 

(Figure 30)

 the central cornea showed less distortion, permitting 

relatively good uncorrected vision.
