Abstract
A 33-year-old woman with corneal ectasia after radial and astigmatic keratotomy had corneal collagen crosslinking with resultant gaping of the inferior incisions (2 radials and 1 transverse) that required suturing. At 6 months, the incisions healed leaving fibrotic scars. Visual acuity, refractions, corneal photographs, and topographic and corneal wavefront measurements are presented. At 2.5 years, the topographic inferior corneal irregularity continued to improve.Keywords
