摘要:

Intrastromal corneal crystals developed in 11 of 49 monkey eyes with hydrogel intracorneal lenticules followed over a 4 year period. All of the eyes, except one, underwent synthetic keratophakia via a microkeratome incision. The diagnosis of crystal formation was initially made by slit-lamp examination and confirmed with specular microscopy (from 21 to 150 days post-hydrogel keratophakia). The crystals were noted to lie in a plane adjacent to the hydrogel lenticule and specular microscopy revealed polychromatic, hyperrefringent crystals with either a rectangular or linear morphology. Prior to intrastromal crystal formation, these corneas developed early postoperative stromal edema (*3 weeks). We hypothesize that early stromal edema in combination with the hydrogel intracorneal lenticule induced the production of lipid crystals by stromal keratocytes.
