Anterior Stromal Melt With Corneal Allogeneic Intrastromal Ring Segments in a Patient With Severe Atopy

Anterior stromal melt, commonly seen with synthetic segments, can rarely develop after CAIRS implantation, in specific circumstances, such as severe inflammation and atopy. Prompt systemic and topical management can potentially stop progression and retain the implanted segment.
