Radiofrequency diathermy as a treatment of lipid keratopathy in a radial keratotomy incision

PURPOSE: We report a case of lipid keratopathy in a radial keratotomy incision that was successfully managed with radiofrequency diathermy of the neovascular pedicle responsible for the lipid deposition. OBSERVATIONS: No perioperative or postoperative complications were noted. Following the procedur...

description PURPOSE: We report a case of lipid keratopathy in a radial keratotomy incision that was successfully managed with radiofrequency diathermy of the neovascular pedicle responsible for the lipid deposition. OBSERVATIONS: No perioperative or postoperative complications were noted. Following the procedure, the lesion showed significant decrease in lipid deposits and opacification along with disappearance of the neovascular pedicle. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Radiofrequency diathermy of neovascular pedicle may represent an effective and safe alternative treatment option for treating lipid keratopathy. This is a first ever report of lipid keratopathy inside a radial keratotomy incision that was successfully managed by radiofrequency diathermy.
