Advanced Surface Ablation in Mild (Fruste) Keratoconus: A Case Report.
Corneal ectasia is a complication of refractive surgery, and keratoconus is a contraindication to this type of procedure. Surface ablation may be an option for selected cases of mild keratoconus, with patient education being fundamental to this treatment as well as a complete evaluation of the cornea and optical properties of the patient. Here we report the clinical outcome of a patient 15 years after advanced surface ablation in a case of mild (fruste) keratoconus.
