Transplantation of Descemet’s Membrane with Endothelium and Subsequent Cataract Phacoemulsification under the Control of Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography in Patient with of Chandler’s Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome Manifestation after Laser Keratorefractive Surgery. Clinical Case

The article describes a clinical case of a patient who underwent LASIK surgery to correct hyperopia in both eyes. In the early postoperative period, episodes of increased intraocular pressure up to 27 mm Hg were noted, which were relieved with medication. In the late postoperative period, severe corneal syndrome and decreased visual acuity appeared. After a thorough inspection on OU a diagnosis was put forward: Ocular hypertension. Condition after keratorefractive surgery (LASIK), primary Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy, mild hyperopia, early cataract, OS fluid accumulation under corneal flap, mild amblyopia. The decision was made to transplant the endothelium with Descemet’s membrane to the OS. The operation went as usual, the donor Descemet’s membrane was fully flattened, but it did not result in a reduction of corneal stromal edema and disappearance of the intracorneal gap filled with fluid. The patient was administered additional hypotensive therapy after which positive dynamics of stromal edema were observed. Later, the patient underwent cataract phacoemulsification under the control of intraoperative optical coherence tomography. The article presents the analysis of this clinical case, discusses the choice of treatment tactics and specifies the diagnosis as a manifestation of Chandler’s iridocorneal endothelial syndrome after keratorefractive surgery.
