Abstract
- Refractive surgery has been performed under general anesthesia on pediatric and neurobehaviorally challenged adults without reported loss of vision or serious complications. Persistent epithelial defect (PED) is a rare complication of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in the general refractive surgery population. We report a case of PED following PRK under general anesthesia for high myopia in a man with autism and ocular history of juvenile open-angle glaucoma and dry eye syndrome.
