From: Management of myopic shift and central corneal steepening resulting from superficial corneal opacity in a patient with previous radial keratotomy: a case report

Fig. 1

External corneal photography, axial map and ASOCT of the preoperative corneal condition. Figure 1A and B present preoperative photographs of the right and left eyes, respectively, with a whitish central opacity obscuring the visual axis in both eyes. Figure 1C and D display preoperative axial maps of the right and left eyes, respectively. Central steepening of the anterior corneal surface is observed in both eyes, with mean keratometry values of 44.8 diopters in the right eye and 42.7 diopters in the left eye. Preoperative ASOCT images of the right eye (1E) and the left eye (1 F) revealed mound-shaped hyperreflective material in the subepithelial space, with minimal stromal scarring. The lesion in the right eye measured 89 μm in thickness, 136 μm in depth, and 272 μm in width, while the lesion in the left eye measured 61 μm in thickness, 119 μm in depth, and 368 μm in width
