Abstract
To show the outcomes of surgical reduction of ocular pigmentation in patients with oculodermal melanocytosis. Surgical reduction of ocular pigmentation was performed in 49 patients with oculodermal melanocytosis at the Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea, between January 2005 and January 2009. In all patients, ocular pigmentation was cosmetically reduced, and most patients were satisfied with the results of surgery. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuities, intraocular pressure (IOP), keratometry, and refractive outcomes did not differ significantly. During the follow-ups, 14 patients showed transient IOP elevation and 4 patients showed conjunctival neovascularization. Surgical reduction of oculodermal melanocytosis seemed to be cosmetically satisfactory and did not cause significant changes in visual acuity, refraction, or keratometry, although 28.6% (14 of 49) of patients showed transient IOP elevation.
