Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: A 36-year-old man presented with pain and decreased vision in the left eye. Left eye visual acuity was 20/100. He had undergone bilateral LASIK 3 years prior to presentation to treat moderate myopia. RESULTS:
Slit-lamp examination revealed aqueous flare and cells, vertical corneal folds, and cell aggregates at the central interface. Flattening and thinning of the cornea were observed with Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH). Diffuse lamellar keratitis stage III was diagnosed and intensive corticosteroid and anticollagenolytic treatment was started with satisfactory results. CONCLUSIONS:
