| Popis: | A 50-year-old man developed active anterior chamber bleeding immediately following uneventful myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using the femtosecond laser. Although the mechanism of this patient's hyphema is not entirely clear, we postulate that decentration of the suction ring led to episcleral vessel damage in the area of the peripheral flap pocket. Presumably, the blood passed from the pocket in a retrograde fashion through Schlemm canal and the trabecular meshwork into the anterior chamber.
