Sequential lift and suture technique for post-LASIK corneal striae.

We describe a surgical technique to manage persistent corneal striae after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). The sequential lift and suture technique reduces the time required for LASIK, eliminates the need to fixate the flap with forceps during suturing, and increases the accuracy of suture placement. The results in 10 eyes (9 patients) showed complete resolution of striae with improvement in subjective symptoms (glare and blurred vision) and best corrected visual acuity.

Hemorrhagic Descemet's membrane detachment after viscocanalostomy.

We report a case of hemorrhagic detachment of Descemet's membrane after viscocanalostomy. A 60-year-old man with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma had an uneventful viscocanalostomy in the right eye. On the first postoperative day, a 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm Descemet's membrane detachment was present in the superior nasal quadrant. The space between Descemet's membrane and the stroma was filled with a hemorrhage. The hemorrhage resorbed by 6 months postoperatively, and Descemet's membrane completely reattached without surgical manipulation. The final visual acuity dropped from 20/40 to 20/100, final intraocular pressure was 20 mm Hg with 1 medication, and a paracentral fibrinoid scar persisted 18 months after surgery. Hemorrhagic detachment of Descemet's membrane can cause visual acuity deterioration and should be recognized as a rare complication of viscocanalostomy.
