A clinical case of corneal injury 6 months after femtolaser correction of myopia using CLEAR technology

Purpose. To present a clinical case of conservative treatment of corneal injury in the eye, on which femtolaser correction of myopia using CLEAR technology was previously performed. Methods. In September 2024 the patient complained of decreased vision in her left eye due to injury to her left eye with a stick. Examination on a slit lamp revealed a superficial wound of the cornea of the left eye in the optical zone, with inflammatory infiltration. Conservative treatment was carried out. Results. As a result of conservative treatment, the visual acuity of the left eye was restored to 1.0. The condition of the cornea: the wound was cleared of infiltration, a defect in the Bowman membrane persists. Conclusion. Patients should be warned about the risks of household eye injuries, and a conversation should be held about precautions when working in suburban areas in order to eliminate the risk of blunt or sharp objects getting into their eyes. In case of blunt trauma to the eye, conservative treatment is effective. Key words: femtolaser lenticular correction, myopia, corneal injury
