Abstract
To demonstrate the development of deep corneal neovascularization after intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation, and to demonstrate complete regression after treatment with surgical removal and anti-inflammatory therapy. Observational case report. A 29-year-old man developed deep stromal neovascularization after ICRS implantation for post-laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis ectasia that was not associated with the surgical wound. After surgical removal of the ICRS and treatment with topical prednisolone acetate 1.0% and cyclosporine A 1.0%, complete vessel regression occurred in 2 weeks. ICRS can induce deep corneal neovascularization that is not associated with the surgical wound. Surgical removal of the intrastromal ring and treatment with topical anti-inflammatory agents can induce vessel regression.
