Central Toxic Keratopathy in Siblings After Laser-Assisted Keratomileusis: Case Report and Literature Review

Conclusions: CTK is a rare, noninflammatory but potentially sight-threatening entity most commonly associated with excimer laser ablation procedures. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood but likely multifactorial. Its isolated presentation in this case of 2 siblings suggests a possible underlying genetic predisposition, which has not been previously described. With careful monitoring and early supportive treatment, patients can have a complete and rapid resolution.
