Abstract EN
Purpose : To report a case of bilateral corneal ectasia fifteen years post photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in one eye and laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the fellow eye.
Case : A 35-year-old-female with no previous illnesses and a presumably normal topographic pattern underwent PRK in her right eye and LASIK in the more myopic left eye.
A retrospective analysis of the topography pattern with the current medical knowledge revealed the possibility of a form fruste keratoconus in the left eye.
After yearly normal examinations, and despite the differences in risk factors and the technique used, the patient developed a bilateral corneal ectasia fifteen years later.
Conclusion : Long-term follow-up is essential for the assessment of the safety of different types of keratorefractive surgeries in all patients regardless of their preoperative risk factors.

• But: Rapporter un cas d’ectasie cornéenne bilatérale après kératectomie réfractive (PRK) dans un œil et laser keratomileusis dans l’autre œil.
Cas: Une patiente de trente-cinq ans sans maladie connue ayant subi une PRK dans son œil droit avec topographie cornéenne normale.
L’œil gauche, plus myope, fut opéré par laser keratomileusis in situ (LASIK) avec un aspect topographique rétrospectif de kératocône fruste.
Malgré la différence entre les facteurs de risque et la technique chirurgicale, la patiente développa une ectasie cornéenne bilatérale après quinze ans et cela malgré un contrôle annuel normal.
Conclusion: Le suivi à long terme est crucial pour évaluer la sécurité des différentes techniques de la chirurgie kératoréfractive chez tous les patients et cela quels que soient les facteurs de risque.
