Popis: A 29-year-old man presented to our clinic with pain, decreased vision, and hyphema in his left eye after being hit by a football. Laser in situ keratomileusis had been performed 6 years earlier. No damage was noted on the epithelium or flap structure. The intraocular pressure was 22 mm Hg. Stage III to IV diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) developed gradually over the next 4 days. Intensive topical steroid treatment had no effect on the DLK, and interface irrigation was performed on the sixth day. The corneal edema and DLK resolved following the irrigation.
