Pressure-induced stromal keratopathy after laser in situ keratomileusis: Acute and late-onset presentations
We present a series of 4 cases of pressure-induced stromal keratopathy after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Four patients (5 eyes) with previous LASIK presented for poor visual acuity and ocular pain because of ocular hypertension. At examination, all cases revealed corneal haze and a space filled with fluid between the surgical flap and the residual stroma. All cases were m anaged with topical hypotensive treatment and one of them was also treated with a valve drainage device. Topical steroids restriction was indicated in all cases.
