ABSTRACT

We report a rare case of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) neovascularization managed with combination of subconjunctival bevacizumab and argon laser photocoagulation. A 24 year old male underwent Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty for corneal stromal opacity following presumed viral keratitis. Deep corneal neovascularization was observed postoperatively which was successfully managed using a combination of subconjunctival bevacizumab and argon laser photocoagulation within one week of DALK. The neovascularization resolved by 3 months and at 2 years follow up, patient maintained good visual acuity of 6/12 Snellen's without recurrence of vascularization. A combination of bevacizumab and argon laser may be an effective approach to manage neovascularisation in the immediate postoperative phase (Post DALK) and improve graft survival.
