Uveiti-aociated Flap Edema and Lamellar Interface Fluid Collection After LAIK

Purpoe To report two cae of corneal pathology aociated with anterior uveiti after laer in itu keratomileui (LAIK). Deign Obervational cae report. Method A 47-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman who experienced viion lo and corneal change aociated with acute anterior uveiti after LAIK were examined. Reult The 47-year-old man, who had undergone LAIK for low myopia developed an interlamellar fluid pocket at the level of the flap interface, wherea the 50-year-old woman, who underwent LAIK for hyperopia, developed marked flap edema without interface fluid collection. Concluion Thee two cae demontrated acute corneal fluid accumulation aociated with epiode of acute anterior uveiti in eye that had undergone LAIK. Uveiti hould be conidered a rik factor for viion threatening corneal complication after LAIK.
