Purpose: To describe a three-phase surgical approach for managing progressive visual decline in a patient with myopia magna and a history of epikeratophakia.
Methods: A 55-year-old woman with previous epikeratophakia surgery in both eyes experienced progressive visual deterioration. The three-phase approach included: (1) removal of the epikeratophakia lenticule, (2) cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, and (3) transepithelial topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (trans-PRK).

Purpose: Corneal dysmorphologies (CDs) are typically classified as either regressive degenerative corneal dystrophies (CDtrs) or defective growth and differentiation-driven corneal dysplasias (CDyps). Both eye disorders have multifactorial etiologies. While previous work has elucidated many aspects of CDs, such as presenting symptoms, epidemiology, and pathophysiology, the genetic mechanisms remain incompletely understood.
