Central toxic keratopathy (CTK) describes a rare, acute, non-inflammatory complication most associated with excimer laser ablation surgery (e.g., laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratopathy (PTK) surgery).

2023年8月8日 · Central toxic keratopathy (CTK), first described in 1998, has numerous alternative descriptive names including stage IV diffuse lamellar keratitis, central lamellar keratitis, central flap necrosis, central necrosis lamellar inflammation, and keratinocyte-induced corneal micro edema (KME).[2][3][4][5][6][7] This rare clinical syndrome ...

The Central Toxic Keratopathy (CTK) syndrome describes a rare, acute, self-limited, non-inflammatory process that yields central corneal opacification and significant hyperopic shift after refractive surgery.
