Corneal hysteresis in post-radial keratotomy primary open-angle glaucoma.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

Article Synopsis
- Corneal hysteresis (CH) was significantly lower in patients with a history of radial keratotomy (RK) compared to myopic controls with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
- Significant differences were also found in intraocular pressure measurements, with RK patients having higher cornea-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) after controlling for other factors.
- The study indicates potential implications for understanding glaucoma progression in RK patients, though there was no significant correlation between the number of RK incisions and CH.
A 70-year-old woman sought treatment for confluent flesh-colored papules on all 4 eyelids. Sixteen family members were reported to have similar lesions involving the face and scalp. Initial histopathologic examination of the lesions was interpreted as basal cell carcinoma, but on further review, the lesions were deemed to be consistent with trichoepitheliomas as seen in Brooke-Spiegler syndrome.
