Corneal Electrolysis for Granular Corneal Dystrophy Type 2 (Avellino Corneal Dystrophy) Exacerbation After LASIK.
Purpose: To report two cases in which exacerbation of granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (GCD2; Avellino corneal dystrophy) after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was successfully removed by corneal electrolysis.
Methods: This study involved a 66-year-old man and a 43-year-old man with GCD2 who had undergone bilateral LASIK for myopia 10 or more years prior to presentation. In both patients, GCD2 corneal opacity gradually developed postoperatively at the LASIK flap interface, thus resulting in a decrease of visual acuity. For treatment, the LASIK flaps in both patients were surgically lifted to directly remove the opacity. Corneal electrolysis was then applied to the back of each LASIK flap and stromal bed.
Results: Postoperatively, the ocular symptoms and corneal opacities related to GCD exacerbation disappeared, with improvement of corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity and almost no change of refractive error.
Conclusions: The findings reveal that corneal electrolysis is safe and effective for treating exacerbations of GCD2 following LASIK when applied to a surgically lifted flap, and that it successfully removes GCD2-related LASIK flap interface opacities with almost no change of refractive error postoperatively.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Refractive Surgery, the official journal of the International Society of Refractive Surgery, a partner of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, has been a monthly peer-reviewed forum for original research, review, and evaluation of refractive and lens-based surgical procedures for more than 30 years. Practical, clinically valuable articles provide readers with the most up-to-date information regarding advances in the field of refractive surgery. Begin to explore the Journal and all of its great benefits such as:
• Columns including “Translational Science,” “Surgical Techniques,” and “Biomechanics”
• Supplemental videos and materials available for many articles
• Access to current articles, as well as several years of archived content
• Articles posted online just 2 months after acceptance.
