Purpose: To present the use of radiofrequency diathermy for the management of chronic resistant corneal neovascularization with lipid keratopathy. Methods: A 29-year-old female patient presented for the management of corneal neovascularization with lipid keratopathy following a contact lens-related bacterial keratitis. Since the lesion was affecting the visual axis and was refractory to conventional treatment, we decided to proceed with radiofrequency diathermy (Klöti, Oertli®, Switzerland) under local anesthesia. Results: There were no intraoperative or early postoperative complications and until the 2nd postoperative month there were no corneal vessels discernable. The lipid deposits were slowly but progressively regressing and best corrected visual acuity remained stable at 0.63 (decimal scale). Conclusion: Radiofrequency diathermy seems to represent an effective and safe minimally invasive treatment for chronic resistant corneal neovascularization with lipid keratopathy. |
