Abstract

A patient with developmental angle anomaly developed a corticosteroid- induced refractory increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Trabeculectomy was required to reduce the pressure. Although rare, corticosteroid-induced refractory IOP increase is a serious compilation of PRK and may necessitate trabeculectomy. More frequent monitoring of IOP in post-PRK patients and a re-evaluation of postoperative treatment are indicated.
