With increasing rates of myopia, there is a population of patients who concurrently develop AN and may seek corneal refractive surgery. This study reviews the ophthalmic manifestations of AN and provides preliminary guidelines for patients with AN undergoing corneal refractive surgery. The literature search was conducted through the PubMed, Scopus, and Ovid databases through June 2, 2024, for publications detailing the ocular manifestations of AN. These findings were then considered in the context of potential complications after corneal refractive surgery, and preoperative guidelines for patients with AN were formulated. Twelve articles described a total of 114 patients with AN (227 eyes) with ophthalmic manifestations. Among the studied eyes, 14% had ocular surface abnormalities, 5% had cataracts/visual disturbances, 64% had posterior segment abnormalities, and 20% had orbital/neurological abnormalities. Various ophthalmic findings of AN may increase the risk of delayed corneal wound healing, ocular surface dryness, perioperative bleeding, flap-related complications, and poor visual outcomes after corneal refractive surgery. The BMI of patients suspected with AN must be assessed, and patients should be screened for diagnosis of AN. If mildly and moderately underweight patients with AN have normal ophthalmic and medical workups, they may proceed with a typical preoperative workup for corneal refractive surgery. Ultimately, the decision to recommend elective corneal refractive surgery for these patients rests with the surgeon. This study should be considered a foundation for future research, encouraging collaboration across medical disciplines to develop more comprehensive guidelines for managing this patient population.Keywords: ophthalmic manifestation, guidelines, eating disorder, LASIK, PRK, SMILE |
