Metalic particles into the cornea |
Dear Friends:
We are working in a Ophthalmology Department at Institut Universitari Dexeus-USP in Barcelona.
We received a patient who was treated for myopia some time ago using a LASIK technique ( Laser In situ Keratomileusis) as you probably know, cornea was sliced and lasered using a microkeratome however blade oscilation in the past eventually spread into the interface particles comming from steel inox blade´s.
Could this affect an MRI of Head, is this a contraindications, ( particles are microscopic/multiple and are interlamellar into cornea )
Thank you for your input
Kind Regards
