CTK-like syndrome: Corneal opacity and flattening following sequential intracorneal ring implantation and corneal cross-linking
This original case reports how CXL followed by ICRS implant may result in an early and extreme corneal remodeling. Moreover, such an unusual combination of extreme corneal flattening, thinning, and opacification may imitate a clinical manifestation of central toxic keratopathy and suggests that eyes with ICRS implantation must be followed closely if CXL is performed sequentially after.
