Corneal Abrasion Leading to Stromal Melt in a Patient With Myopia

Key Points

• To describe a rare occurrence of stromal melt following corneal abrasion in a myopic patient.
• Documented case report of a patient with a history of corneal insert implantation.
• Focused on the timeline from initial implantation to the incident of corneal melt.
• Analyzed possible connections between myopia, corneal health, and the incidence.
• Corneal melt was observed following abrasion in the context of previous corneal insert implantation.
• History of myopia noted as a significant factor possibly contributing to corneal complications.
