Background: Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is increasingly used worldwide to correct a wide range of refractive errors. Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS), a noninfectious inflammatory disease with symptoms and signs that resemble bacterial infection, is a rare complication of LASIK. Case presentation: We report a case of TASS in a 42-year-old male patient after LASIK surgery in both eyes for hyperopia. Diagnosed clinically. Discussion and conclusion: Little information about complications after LASIK is available. TASS is a general term used to describe acute, sterile postoperative anterior segment reactions. Patients with TASS will often experience blurry vision with or without pain within 12 to 48 hours after surgery. Steroids have shown to be effective in resolving the inflammatory response, reducing the pain and recovering the vision. |
