Biomicroscopic examinations of the corneal epithelium of 54 patients who had consecutive radial keratotomy operations in the National Eye Institute Prospective Evaluation of Radial Keratotomy (PERK) study showed that abnormal stellate epithelial iron lines had appeared at the junction of the middle and inferior thirds of the cornea in 13 of 16 eyes (81%) examined six months after surgery, in 43 of 50 eyes (86%) examined 12 months after surgery, and in seven of nine eyes (78%) examined 24 months after surgery. The density and pattern of the deposits varied from a faint tan horizontal iron line studded with small branches to a dense yellow-brown deposit with eight radiating arms that extended between all of the incisions. |
